Although some of their family was unable, the remain- ing thirty-four gathered at the Watermill Res- taurant for a dinner party to honour this very well-known and popular couple on the occasion of their 70th wedding anniversary. In this age of no-frills divorce this is a remark- able feat indeed! Following dinner the guests returned to Mr. and Mrs. Crosier's home in Sunderland to socialize for the remain- der of the evening. The guests that were present spanned a total of five generations beginning with Mr. Wes. Crosier, his son Allan, grandson Donald, great grandson Brian and the newest member of the clan wee little Ryan Wesley Crosier. Pictures were taken of the five gener- ations to capture for posterity this almost rare occurance. The Crosier family have been residents of this country since 1827 and little Ryan is the eighth generation to be born in Canada. Their many friends in Seagrave and area wish Mr. and Mrs. Crosier many more years of continued health and happiness. We rejoice with you in the cele- bration of this very special milestone in your life! The residents of the communities of Green- bank and Seagrave extend their deepest sympathy to Mrs. Lillian Truax, David and Janet in the loss of a husband and father the late Mr. Markham Truax. Mr. Truax lived his entire life in this and over several years he had made many friends and acquaintences who also share the sorrow over SMITH, SUTHERLAND ERT 5.

One of those houses belonged to Mrs. Myrtie Stone. Mrs. Stone has been a Sea- grave resident all of her 91 years and she has taken up residence recently in the Port Perry Villa. We wish her continued good health in her new home. I'm sure she would be delighted to have her Seagrave friends pop in to say "hello'"" when they have a few minutes while they're in town.
