CANADICE COUPLE HAS GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
About 70 friends and relatives attended the 50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Swan held at Canadice church on Saturday, Jan. 22, 1955.
The event was sponsored by the W. S. C. S. and passed very pleasantly with visiting, also many pictures were taken during the evening.
Mr. Swan was born on the Andrews farm in Canadice, now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ora Sce, and with the exception of a few years passed in Conesus and Canandaigua while young, he has resided in Canadice. He is now 73 years of age.
Destie Swan daughter of Edgar and Maria Webster Glover, was born on the former Clark farm on Bald Hill. She resided near Wayland for a time, returning to Canadice with her parents while still young to the farm where Mr. and Mrs. Swan now reside. She is 71 years of age.
They were married on Sunday, Jan. 22, 1905, at Springwater, by Rev. F. H. Dickerson, then pastor at Canadice. They went by sleigh to Livonia Center to take a train to Pittsford, passing up the Hemlock station, as they learned some of the boys were waiting there to play a few tricks on them. In Pittsford they visited a relative for a couple of days, then went on to Rochester.
They have two daughters, Lunette Rauber, wife of Sylvester Rauber of Perkinsville, and Geraldine Cornish, wife of Harold Cornish of Hemlock; also seven grandchildren.
During their years of farming, Mr. Swan has had some interesting sidelines.

For many years he and his daughters with Mrs. Swan's sister, Miss Jessie
Glover, played for dozens of dances all through this section. They continued until Miss Glover's death a few years ago.
Mrs. Swan is one of the few remaining butter makers on vicinity farms, although in late years she has tapered off on volume production, and is satisfied to let Roy do the heavy work connected with churning.
Mr. Swan's parents, Cyrus and Maryette Cornell Swan, were both born in Canadice, and their marriage was solemnized at Canadice Church on Feb. 25, 1862. Their golden wedding anniversary observance was held at the church on Feb. 24, 1912, under auspices of the Ladies Aid.
