Hartland Golden Wedding - 10th February 1948

10 February 1948   Golden Wedding   Beer
 

Because "they did not want any fuss" Mr. and Mrs. Emmanuel Beer, of Rosedown Farm, Hartland, did not tell even members of their family they were to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary on Sunday, February 1st.
The news, however, leaked out, and Mr. and Mrs. Beer, though holding no family party, were visited by their sons and daughters, and received many messages of congratulation.
They were married at St. Nectan's, Stoke, and their first home was at Philham, where they resided until 1914. Since then they have been at Rosedown Farm. Of a family of eleven, four sons and four daughters survive, and there are eight grand-children.
