a A aR A J ) i | y q b | Mr. and Mrs, Silas Jacobs celebrated their Diamond Jubilee of marriage on Friday, December 19th, at their home near Zion. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs ave enjoying good health and appear to carry lightly the years they have passed through while watching many changes. The house was tastefully decorated in Orchid and yellow, with W few sprays of mistletoe. 'The table which held the four-storey cake with sixty orchid eandles, was beautifully laid with flowers from friends far and near. The two grandsons, Frank and Norman, lighted the candles on the cake. About a hundred guests con- gratulated Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs on their long married life and partook of the buffet lunch. Mr. Jacobs was born on the 12th concession of Mariposa in 1849, being a son of Mr. Frank Jacobs and Mary Mark, who was the daughter of the late John and Mary Mark. He re- ceived his education at Taylor's Cor- ners and Little Britain and a high sehool education at Oakwood. He started in the steamboat business at Port Hoover on the steamer Lady Ida, with his uncle Thomas Hoover. At - that time Port Hoover was a thriving business place--there was a sawmill, a grain warehouse, two stores and two hotels, they were kept by Hadley & Rogers, and a number of residences. It was no common sight to see the boat Lady Ida, tow eight scow loads of grain up the lake to Port Perry, there being no railway through this section at that time. Mrs. Jacobs was Emily Jane Hicks, born in Cobourg in 1849, the daughter of John and Annie Hicks, who came Little Britain. Mrs. Jacobs received was six weeks old. They drove over corduroy roads from Cobourg to Littel Britain. Mrs. Jacobs received -her education at Little Britain school. Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs were married by Rev. Mr. Whitlock, in Little Britain on December 19th, 1870. They took up housekeeping in Port Perry and lived there about seven years, then moving to Lindsay, where Mr, Jacobs followed the steamboat busi- ness several years. He then went to Manitoba and British Columbia and while there Mr. Jacobs was Captain of a boat engaged in the salmon in- dustry. They also spent a short time in California, then returning to Lind- say to live. The troops went west to the North West Rebellion while Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs lived in Lindsay. They then moved to Huntsville where Mr. Jacobs worked in the lum- ber business, and was also manager of the Navigation Co. From Huntsville they returned to Lindsay again for a short time before moving to the Yerex farm, lot 12, con 2, where they now live. Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs had two child- ren, two grandchildren and six great grandchildren. The two children are both dead (Annie who died at the age of 2 years and 6 months; and Leslie who died at the age of 81.) Leslie left two children, Frank now living at Eden, Mariposa, and Norman, living on the farm where Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs are residing. Many messages of congratulation came from friends and relatives in various parts of the province. Also flowers and fruit and other gifts came from far and near. The Zion community presented Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs with a lovely basket of fruit and a lovely bouquet of flowers. We all wish Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs many years of wedded oe Mr. Green, of Seagrave; preached at Zion on Sunday afternoon. A good crowd attended both church and Sunday School.
