Mr. and Mrs. Bossenberry were married in the Evangelical Pru•son- age in Zurich on July 18, 1889 by Rev. Theo, Hauch, father of Rev. J. J. Hauch of Kitchener, a former pastor of Centennial Evangelical Church, Stratford. The bride of fifty years ago was Miss Louise, Wagner, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Conrad Wagner, who resided two and one-half miles from Zurich. Mr. Bossenberry was a son of Mr. and Mrs. William Bossenberry of the same district. After their tnarriage Mr. and Mrs. Bossenberry resided in Zurich until April, 31 years ago, when they mov- ed to Kitchener, They have retained then interest in music through the years and in it found their chief hobby although Mrs, Bossenberry has a second spec- ial interest, Throughout her life she has been interested in Sunday School work, and for the past 25 years has been the teacher of a Sunday School class at Zion Evangelical Bible school, Kitchener, Mr. and Mrs. Bossenberry had a family of ten children of whom .all but Franklyn, who was drowned in the Breslau dam 17 years ago, are still living. Their family circle also includes nine grandchildren. Their children are Mrs. I. Snyder, Mr. Charles Bossenberry and Mr. Glen Bossenberry, all of Kitchener; Clayton and Claude Bossenberry of Detroit; Bert of a Detroit -;Buffalo boat staff; Emerson at ' Listowel; Mrs. J. L.

They raided the Lucan citadel home with11- and came h an 1 win tucked away to place them in a tie position with the Irishmen for first place in the Huron -Perth league, As far as we can gather it was a free hitting •affair with the Colts who batted the balls of no less than three pitchers, Dundas, Hudson and Chow en. Every man batted in the first inning when Clinton gathered in five runs. Draper ;went the route 'foe Clinton and although he was nicked for nine hits, kept pretty well out of trouble .until the last inning.
