Mr. & Mrs. John W. Higginbotham

(60th Anniversary announcement in Winnipeg Free Press 08/27/1934)

PIONEER COUPLE AT VIRDEN MARK DIAMOND JUBILEE

Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Higginbotham Receive Felicitations From Friends Far and Near

Virden, Man., Aug. 27.? Virden was the scene of an unique event Saturday when Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Higginbotham celebrated the 60th anniversary of their wedding. It was the first occasion such an event had occurred In Virden, and during the afternoon and evening 200 citizens of the town and surrounding country called to pay their respects. All day long letters and telegrams of congratulation poured in from friends and relatives in different parts of Canada.

Mr. and Mrs. Higginbotham received their friends in the spacious drawing-room of their home, which was beautifully decorated with sweet peas, gladiolus, roses and flowering plants, the gift of the Ladies' Aid of St. Paul's United church and their numerous friends. During the evening an illuminated address was presented to Mr. and Mrs. Higginbotham on behalf of the congregation of St. Paul's United church.

Mr. and Mrs. Higginbotham were married at Bowmanvllle, Ont., Aug. 25, 1874, and afterwards moved to Oshawa, where Mr. Higginbotham was in business as a druggist until 1889. He served on the council at Oshawa for several years, and both were very active in everything that pertained to church and community life of that growing town.

The lure of the west brought Mr. Higginbotham to Virden in 1889, where he continued his pharmacy business until 1908 when he retired from business to become postmaster, a position which he occupied with universal satisfaction until 1930 when he tendered his resignation.

Mrs. Higginbotham has been very active in church and hospital work and for many years filled important positions on the boards of both institutions. In fact there has been no phase of community life during the past 45 years with which both Mr. and Mrs. Higginbotham have not been actively and intimately identified.

Mr. and Mrs. Higginbotham have three children, Mrs. E. E. Meek and Mrs. D. A. McNeven, both of Regina, and A. E. Higginbotham, who has been mayor of Virden for the last three years. A pleasing feature of the event was that all the immediate members of their family were present. Among those present from a distance were Rev. and Mrs. Telfer and daughter, Gwen, of Dauphin; Mrs. Argue, Dauphin; Mrs. Ruttan, Hamiota; Mrs. E. E. Meek, Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Neven and daughter, Jean, of Regina. Many of those who called were in a reminiscent mood and recalled many humorous incidents and anecdotes of the pioneer days of the town. Although they have each passed the four-score mark, Mr. and Mrs. Higginbotham are enjoying excellent health and are still active in all that pertains to the welfare of the community.

Lorinda married John William Higginbotham on 25 Aug 1874 in Bowmanville Northumberland & Durham, Ontario, Canada. John (son of John Higginbotham and Sarah (Unknown)) was born on 14 Mar 1853 in Manchester, Lancashire, England; died on 26 Sep 1941 in Virden, Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. [Group Sheet]
