This photo was uploaded to Wikitree by Christine Maier, a distant cousin. The couple celebrating their 60th anniversary are Charles and Susannah Reed. I haven’t done much research on the Reed family, but it appears that my 4th great-grandfather Henry Reed was Charles’ uncle. Henry has his own story worthy of a separate post.
The Reeds came to Canada from Suffolk, England. They settled in Nassagaweya Township, Halton County. Nassagaweya was amalgamated into the Town of Milton in 1974.
What also piqued my interest is that this photo was taken in 1917 at Burlington Beach, Hamilton, Ontario. Of course, that is the Beach Strip where I grew up. I can’t quite place the house, though.
Thanks Christine for letting me share this picture. It’s a great photo.
