Simcoe Couple
Celebrates
A very pleasant and happy
gathering was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Howarth,
Agricultural Street, Simcoe, on Saturday, 12 Mar 1921, to celebrate
the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding.
A goodly crowd of friends
responded heartily to the invitation. There were many varied and
beautiful presents from England, Toronto, Hamilton and Simcoe. The
house was tastefully decorated and everything was carried out in
good order. There were songs, dances, cards and toasts and
congratulations to the happy couple.
Mr. Henry Horwarth was among
the first to answer the call for the Great War, and his son, Ben
Wright Howarth, was amongst the fallen, being hilled at Vimy Ridge,
in April 1917. His son-in-law, Pte. Wesley Gurr, died of wounds
received in France. All served in France and Belgium.
The gathering was brought to
a close by all joining hands and singing "Auld Lang Syne",
"God Save the King", and Rule Britannia.
