  • Notes 
    • The deceased lady had been a resident of Galt for over sixty years and had watched the town grow from a small village to a thriving and prosperous town. She was born in St. Austell, Cornwall, England in 1816, and thus at the time of her death had reached the ripe old age of 92 years. She was married in England in 1837, and came to Canada in 1847. After living for short periods in Toronto, Kingston, and Preston, Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins moved to Galt in 1848 where Mrs. Wilkins has resided continuously. Her husband predeceased her twenty years ago...............

      Her husband was a jeweller and on the occasion of the death of Mary Coombe, presented Richard Kinsman's wife Isabella McCullough Grant with a gold pocket watch to thank her for the years of caring for her.

      _____________________

      Fifty Years of Married Life

      There assembled at the residence of William Wilkins, Esq., Oak street, on Friday last (Good Friday) a company comprising no less than five generations, the object being to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins on the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding. Our old friends were married in Cornwall, England, on the 8th of April, 1837, and ten years later emigrated to Canada. The five generations comprised Mrs. Kinsman, (mother of Mrs. Wilkins) upwards of 90 years of age; Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins; their sons Nicholas, Edward John, and their daughter Miss Wilkins, of Galt, Mark, of Dumfries, and Richard of Toronto; the children of the sons; and Mrs. Ewart (daughter of the late Wm. H. Wilkins) and child. In addition, we believe, there sat at the bounteously spread table at dinner no less than five persons who occupied the same position at the wedding breakfast table in "old England" fifty years before.

      During the evening, an address from the family to the aged couple was read, and was accompanied by the presentation of a gold-headed cane, gold spectacles, and other articles.
