[The Welland Tribune-Port Colborne Evening Tribune, 12 December 1931]
Forke’s Road, Dec. 12-A silver wedding anniversary was happily celebrated at “Hillsdale Gardens”, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hendershot, Fork’s Road, when about 125 friends and relatives gathered to congratulate them upon the attainment of their silver wedding anniversary.
Their marriage took place at the home of the bride’s parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Geo. E Gilmore of Wainfleet on November 14th, 1906. Rev. J.D. Stephens of the Disciple church officiating at the ceremony (now of Kingmille, Ont.,) was unable to be present in person, but sent a letter of congratulations, The dining room was decorated in keeping with the occasion. The color scheme was in gold and white, and from the dome to the centre of the table extended a large white ball with gold and white streamers to each corner of the table fastened with large bows. A three-storey wedding cake and bouquet of gold and white mums also graced the table.
A delightful musical program was provided by the Misses Zelma Beachin, Helen Gilmore and Edna Holmes, and others joined in community singing. Arthur Gilmore then gave a short address appropriate to the occasion.
Many beautiful and useful gifts were received. Also, a pleasing feature of the evening was the presentation of a beautiful floor lamp from the brothers and sisters. The address was given by Miss Beryl Yager of Morgansville, N.Y.
Mr. Hendershot replied, expressing his own and Mrs. Hendershot’s appreciation of this token of fellowship. A most delicious lunch was served.
