FRIEND WEATHERALD’S GOLDEN WEDDING
[Welland Tribune, 26 March 1897]
Observance of the fiftieth anniversary of W. and J.H. Wetherald’s wedding day, on the 17th inst., was a shining success on a small scale. La Grippe, with his host of odious camp followers, was an unwelcome guest, and none of the boys, scattered between Chicago and the Pacific, were able to be present, so the number of choice spirits assembled was of necessity limited. But these made up in brightness and buoyancy what was lacking in numbers. All hearts were young, though some of the heads were bald. We cannot help growing old, so it is pleasant to think that the serenity and peace of old age contain a deeper joy than the romantic aspirations of youth. Loving congratulants, good wishes and substantial tokens came from different quarters, and Bayard Taylor’s song, sent by one of the boys, received hearty acclaim and approval.
