Thamesville, Dec. 20 - Howard Couple Married 60 Years:
Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Brisley of Howard township celebrated the diamond anniversary of their wedding last week when a family reunion was held at their home. Many friends called and many others sent congratulations to the aged couple. Mr. and Mrs. Brisley were born in England - the former at Chatham, Kent in 1840 and Mrs. Brisley, whose maiden name was Mary Harmsworth, in Sewbury, Berkshire in 1841. They were married in December 1863 by Rev. W. Weekes of St. Paul's church, England. They resided there for eight years after their marriage then came to Canada, arriving in this country in May, 1871 and have since made their home in Howard township. Eight children have blessed the union, five sons and three daughters, six of whom are living: William of Cedar Springs; Mrs. Wm. Atkinson, Botany; George, on the old homestead; Henry of Northwood; James of Botany; Mrs. Wm. Cudmore of Windsor. There are also eighteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Mr. Brisley and a sister, Mrs. Jessup of Chatham, Eng., are the only survivors of a family of twelve children.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Brisley are still enjoying good health.
