Golden Wedding At Lock
MR. AND MRS. GUNN OWEN
At the invitation of their sons and daughters about 40 guests (including relatives and friends) gathered at the Lock Hotel on Saturday evening, March 24, to celebrate the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Gunn Owen, Port Lincoln.
Mr. W. F. Attick was toastmaster. "The King" was proposed by Mr. Attick, "The Bride and Bridegroom" by Mr. P. J. Sampson, "The Pioneers of Lock" by Mr. E. Klopper, "The Returned Soldiers" by Mr. T. Puckridge, "The Methodist Church" by Mr. G. Longmire, and "The West Coast Pioneers" by Mr. Val Roberts. Many congratulatory telegrams were received and were read by Mr. Attick. The three-tiered wedding cake (made by Mrs. Rex Owen and beautifully iced by Mrs. P. Cabot) was cut by Mrs. Owen.
At the conclusion of the dinner, a short musical programme was given. Items were contributed by Mrs. G. L. Owen (song), Miss Dorothy Owen (pianoforte solo), Mr. T. Puckridge (recitation), Miss Jeanette Owen, (pianoforte solo) and Mr. Val Roberts (song). Many gifts were received.
Mr. and Mrs. Owen were married by Rev. Potts at Lake Wangary on March 24, 1895. They resided in Port Lincoln until 1918, when Mr. Owen purchased a property at Lock. Early last year they returned to Port Lincoln.
