A company of unusual proportions assembled at the home of William Crow, one mile east of Fenwick, on Tuesday last, to celebrate that gentleman’s sixieth birthday. It was a complete surprise, gotton up by the family, in which invited friends joined forming a company of nearly one hundred persons- from Pelham, Gainsboro, and Clinton. The guests came heavily laden with good things, and the tables, when laid, were a pretty and appetizing sight. When the first table was being seated, Reeve Hyatt arose to his feet and presented to Mr. Crow, on behalf of the family, a comfortable arm chair in oak, accompanying the gift with a brief, neat speech, in which the hope was expressed on behalf of the whole company that the recipient would long be spared to enjoy the beautiful present. Mrs Crow was Sarah Jane Huntsman of Clinton township. The happy marriagr took place in 1863, and in 1864 Mr. and Mrs. Crow moved to Pelham, where they have since resided, commanding always the respect not only of their neighbors and friends, but the community at large. Two of their children have passed away, those surviving being Mrs. H.G. Diffin of Pelham Centre, and Alandes Crow, who lives at the old home. Tuesday was an ideal October day, warm and pleasant and the large company walked about the beautiful lawn or sat beneath the shading trees and indulged in games and social chat. It was a genuine old-fashioned happy visit, enjoyed by a host of old friends, who will long remember the gathering with sincere pleasure.

Albert Kottmeier, second son of Henry and Christina Kottmeier, was born in Louth township, Nov. 22, 1861, and died at the old homestead, Thorold township, July 11, 1897. No youth ever gave brighter promise of a more vigorous manhood until the age of seventeen was reached, when he was stricken with a violent type of rheumatism which proved to be the destroyer of all fond hopes. Nearly all the remedies know to the medical profession were resorted to but in vain, his was a case wherein science failed, and the disease progressed until it completely wrecked a once finely developed and athletic young man. Seldom is mortal man called upon to endure an affliction equal in severity to his, but it was borne with a christian fortitude equally rare and most admirable. No word of murmur or complaint was ever heard to escape his lips. For many long and weary years though long delayed came at last in the early hours of a peaceful Sabbath morn- a most fitting time for so weary a pilgrim to enter that world of light and love and joy. His last was peace indeed, for it might truthfully be said that he fell asleep on earth but awoke in heaven. Interment took place on Tuesday at Fonthill cemetery,, Rev. Dr. Clark of Hamilton conducting the services at the house.
