Mr. and Mrs. Christian Haist
[Welland Tribune, 1 September 1905]
August the 25th, 1905, witnessed the gladsome event of the anniversary of the golden wedding of Christian Haist and his good wife. The day was all that could be desired, and the near relatives gathered on the extensive lawn of Mr. Haist at Fonthill, Ont.
All the descendants of the aged couple now living were present. These were six children, seventeen grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Besides there were those united by marriage, and a brother of Mr. Haist with P.E. J.G. Litt, and Pastor A. Clemens and his family.
Of those who attended their wedding fifty years ago only two are living, who were too feeble to be present. Mr. and Mrs. Haist may, however, see their diamond wedding which we hope may be so.
Mrs. Haist was born in Waterloo Co., Ont. and Mr. Haist in Wurtemburg, Germany. After they met and were married they lived for one year at Fonthill, then three years at Credition, after which they again came to Pelham and for the last forty-five years lived on the farm where now stands the beautiful home, the fruits of their industry. During their long life together they had many difficulties to face as pioneers, but they met them bravely and succeeded all along the path of life. They are among the first fruits of the missionaries of the Evangelical Association and have been faithful members of that church for many years.
Many and hearty were the congratulations of the guests and other friends as Mr. and Mrs. Haist celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
The dinner table on the lawn was decorated appropriately, in colors that told of the special event, and the table itself was loaded with all sorts of toothsome viands. The wedding cake was made by the bride of fifty years herself.
After dinner a program was rendered, and Mr. Haist in response to the address to themselves, said they were thankful for the fifty years together, that they had endeavored to live upright lives up to the end of life, and urged that upon others. The gifts were beautiful. Besides gold coin, there were gold plate of different description, a clock and a gold headed cane.
The day was passed, but not the memory of it. We all hope for many years of blessing to Mr. and Mrs. Haist.
