GOLDEN WEDDING
JOHN AND MRS. MOONEY CELEBRATE THE HAPPY EVENT.
MR. AND MRS. MOONEY
To so comparatively few comes the
opportunity of celebrating the 50th
anniversary of their .marriage such
an important event is usually regard-
ed as one of the red-letter days of the
family concerned. Jno. and Mrs.
Mooney, old, well known and worthy
residents of this locality, had
the good fortune to live to
see their Golden Wedding day,
and enjoyed it with their
eon, W.1. Mooney, at the home of.
Mrs. Mooney's, • brother, Robert
Stretton, 714 Keele street, Toronto,
where the day was delightfully spent
and many reminiscences brought to
mind of 50 years ago.
Among the guests present were the
following who attended the wedding
at Strettouville, near Uxbridge, Ont.,
when on May 23,1862, Rev. Mr. Giant,
of Port Perry, tied the nuptial bow.
Mrs. Richard Kirbon, of Newmarket,
aged 81 ; Mrs. C. G. Exnbury, aged 76,
of the same town, both of whom are
sisters of Mrs. Mooney• Alrs. John
McMurray, of Uxbridge ; Robert
Stretton, of West Toronto and Mrs.
John Robinson, of the Queen City.
Miss Francis Stretttpn, (now Mrs.
Barbary) was bridesmaid and Wm.
O'Brien, of Whitby, deceased, was
groomsman at Mr. and Mrs. Mooney's
wedding.
Mr. and Mrs. Mooney were the re-
cipients of many good wishes over the
glad occasion and the day was one of
very pleasant association as the com-
pany was royally entertained. The
groom and bride have enjoyed' good
health, although during the post
Spring Mr. Mooney had an attack of
pneumonia. They have resided cnn-
tinuotsly 011 their fine farm, one mile
from Brussels, for 50 years, excepting
for seven years spent in Pennsylvania.
They have only one child, W. R., who
is engaged in mercantile business in
Toronto. The farm was taken up
from the Crown by Mr. Mooney's
father, aud they have a most comfort-
able home.
Mr. Mooney, who is in his 74th year,
is a Oanadian by birth, first gazing on
Canadian scenery in the township of
Kitley, Leeds County. Mrs.
Mooney is a native of the Emerald
Isle, born 70 years ago and tante to
Canada when a child with her par-
ents, the late Robert and Mary Stret-
ton. Mr. and Mrs. Mooney attend
the Methodist church and
are enthusiastic member of
the Orange Order. Mr.
Mooney filled various Municipal offi-
ces of responsibility, was cur the
School Board for many years and did
bis work most efficiently.
In addition to pereous mentioned,
other relatives and friends joining in
the Golden Wedding celebration were
Mrs. J. S. Kendall, Gadsby, Alta. ;
Miss Minnie Mooney, of Weyburn,
Sask. ; John McMurray, Uxbridge ;
W. J. and Mrs. Oroxall, John and
Mrs. Robinson, Chas. Martin, S. E.
and Mrs. Embury, Dr. Chisholm, ex -
M. P., for East Huron of Toronto,
and Mrs. A. Coulter, Weston.
After an excellent and elaborate
spread a short program of congratula-
tory speeches and musical numbers
was given the company separated
hoping that Mr, and Mrs. Mooney
may be spared to one another and
their wide circle of relatives and
friends for many years to come.
Out of a large family of brothers
and sisters Mr. Mooney is the only
one remaining in this locality, the
other surviving members living in the
West.

the W. M. S. of Union church will be
held on Friday evening, June 14th.

tions by local and outside talent is

ments close of

vited to enure_ and spend an evening
which will be both pleasant and
profitable. The pastor, Rev. Mr.
