The wedding took place two days before on the Kneeshaw farm on the 6th line of West Gwillimbury and the couple moved to Mr. King's farm down the road where they lived until 1943. Mr. King, now 95, lives in retirement on John Street in Bradford. This week's photo was submitted by Mrs. Earl Bowles. The Witness welcomes photos of interest.
