Golden Wedding.
On Monday, April 7th, Mr. and Mra.
Frank Metcalf marked the fiftieth anni-
versary of their wedding, and during the
appointed hours. the occasion was accept-
ed by a host of Mends to call and offer
congratulations to this estimable couple,
who have played so large a part in the
social and business life of the community
for the past half century. That their re-
maining years may be many and each fill-
ed to overflowing with the best that life
affords, is the sincere wish of all,
The home was appropriately decorated;
the arranngement being quite in keeping
with such an event which falls to the lot of
but few to celebrate. During the after-
noon and evening Miss Pauline Robinson
attended the door; Mrs. F. A. Rogerson
ushered the callers 16 the dining room;
Mra, J. G. Chowen, of Clinton, poured
tea, while Mrs, Edwin Cartwright and
Miss Woodcock assisted Miss Metcalf in
serving. Congratulatory messages were
received by Mr. and Mrs. Metcalf from
London, Brussels, Teeswater, Hamilton,
Forest, Galt, Toronto, Lockport, N. Y„
Bridgeburg, Hespeller, Clifford, Sebring-
ville and Prince Albert, Sask.
Mr. Metcalf was born in the Township
of Fullerton, Perth County, and at the
age of twelve years, with his parents mov-
ed to Mitchell, where he graduated is the
Public and High Schools, followed by a
course in college. For a few years after
this he was employed asa clerk in a store.
In the year 1878 he purchased the sta-
tionery and jewelry business in Blyth,
which avocation he followed until the
year 1012 when he received the appoint-
ment of Fruit Inspector under the Feder-
al Government, and continued in their
employ in Western Canada until last
August when he was compelled to resign
owing to ill health,
On April 7th, 1880, Mr. Metcalf and
Miss Madelene Chowen, eldest daughter
of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Chowen,
of the Township of Downey, were married
at the home of the bride's uncle, Mr, Wm.
Good, Mitchell. The bridesmaid was
Miss Jennie Ford, of Shelburne, and the
groomsman, Mr. John Metcalf (brother
of the groom) of London. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. P. D. de Lombe
On the arrival of the bride and groom
in Blyth, they were met by a large as-
sembly of citizens and Blyth band which,
by the way, was under the leadership of
our own T. J. Huckstep, Thus this am-
iable couple commenced their long resi f-
ence in Blyth under moat agreeable sur.
roundings, and throughout the interven-
ing years, the good impressions first form.
ed have not waned, but rather, during
each decade, by their untiring efforts for
the good and welfare of the community,
have won for them a larger place in the
hearts and affections of the people.
Mr. Metcalf has been a particulary act-
ive citizen, serving the municipality as
school trustee, councillor, village clerk.
village auditor, county auditor, secretary.
treasurer of Blyth Agricultural Society,
as well as taking a full share in the acti-
vities of fraternal societies—Masonic and
Independent Order of Foresters with
which he is still affiliated. He, at the
present time, holds the responsible posi-
ble position of secretary -treasurer of
Blyth Horticultural Society, A great
lover of flowers himself. his services in
this respect should prove valuable to the
society. But most of all, are Mr. and
Mrs. Metcalf honored for their unstinted
service to Trinity Anglican Church. To
them in a large measure is due the suc-
cess it has attained. In those days, fifty
years ago, when the church needed fos-
tering. their loyalty and encouragement
to the small group which formed the
nucleus of what is to -day a flourishing
congregation bore abundant fruit. rhe
church has not been lax in recognizing
their worth, for they have had bestowed
upon them every office in the gift of the
congregation. Even to day Mr. Metcalf
is a member of the Executive Committee
of the Diocese of Huron, whi.h office he
has held for over thirty years.
Mr. and Mrs. Metcalf always took a
keen interest in every movement for the
improvement of our village. They were
never lax in advocating every measure
that would in any way improve the moral
tone of the community or of our Domin-
ion. They have been ideal citizens—citi-
zens of whom the community ma' weil
teel proud.
To Mr, and Mrs. Metcalf were born a
family DI two—a son, who died in infancy.
and a daughter, Miss Ella M. who, tike
her parents, lives an active life, at the
present time being secretary -treasurer of
Blyth Hydro Electric Commission; secre-
tary -treasurer Blyth School Board; finan-
cial secretary of the Independent Order of
Foresters -and an ardent supporter of the
respective societies in connection with
Trinity Church and Sabbath School. Of
an agreeable personality, she is much es-
teemed by a large circle of friends.
