GOLDEN WEDDING
MR AND MRS J. C. WEBB On Saturday Mr and Mrs J. C. Webb (Peel Forest) celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Their marriage was celebrated by the Rev. Charles Perks at St. Stephen’s Church, Richmond. Victoria, on May 4, 1885. They lived first in Tasmania for three or four years, then moved later to Narrandera, New South Wales, where they were engaged in farming for 16 years. Twenty-seven years ago they came to New Zealand, bought a farm at Peel Forest, and have lived there ever since.
Mr Webb held among other trophies the Christchurch Gun Club's cup for pigeon shooting. To celebrate the anniversary, friends and relatives gathered at the home of Mr and Mrs W. A. Macphail (Peel Forest). A committee of local residents had arranged a programme which included games, dancing, and cards. During the evening Mr E. S. Foden presented Mr and Mrs Webb with two bungalow chairs, suitably inscribed. Items given by Misses M. Foden and Shona Allan and Mr P. Scott were much appreciated.
