- Golden Wedding MR AND MRS. C. CANNARD, OF ALLENDALE.
- Mr. and Mrs. C. Cannard, of Allandale, Young, celebrated their golden wedding with a dinner and social in the Burrangong Hall on Wednesday evening. A large number of guests were present. Mr. and Mrs. Cannard were natives of Victoria. Mr. Cannard was born at Clunes, in the district between Ballarat and Maryborough. His father, who was one of the earliest pioneers of Victoria, was a participant in the Ballarat Eureka Stockade. Mr. Cannard's mother bore the name of Elizabeth Wesley, and some claim is made that the family are traced back to the Wesley of Methodist fame.

One met an early decease following war injuries. The thirteen children are married, and the issue of grand-children to Mr. and Mrs. Cannard number fifty-four. There is one great-grand-child.
