CRYSTAL WEDDING
[Welland Tribune, 24 November 1876]
CRYSTAL WEDDING- On Monday evening our worthy Reeve A. Hendershot, Esq., and his estimable helpmeet, celebrated the Fifteenth Anniversary of their Wedding Day, familiarly known as their “Crystal Wedding.” In view of the eminent social qualities of the couple who have thus far journeyed happily adown the life matrimonial, their friends, to the large number of eighty or thereabout, gathered at their residence in the evening to tender their hearty congratulations inspired by the auspicious event and leave the crystal souvenir custom attributes to the occasion. The occasion was truly an enjoyable conversasione-one of those social minglings that puts everybody on better terms with himself as well as his neighbors and fellow-citizens. Besides general social converse, the Misses Strawn and others favored the company with musical selections; Miss Minnie Girven gave a couple of well-read scenes from querulous Dame Caudle and the recreant sharer of her conjugal joys and troubles; and Misses Strawn and Stella Robinson gave a laughable comic song. The presents were many and varied, and presented a handsome tout ensemble, only equaled by the tempting spread of edibles afforded by the profuse hospitality of the favored couple, in which all partook a devouring interest. The company separated about midnight wishing their entertainers yet many happy anniversaries of the felicitous event of their entrance upon the estate of matrimony.
