DIAMOND WEOEHN& EVENT
FOR WEST RIVER ROAD FOLKS
MR. AND MRS. CHARLES CONY
Who Recently Pasted 60th Wedding Anniversary
Sixty years of married life have
been enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Cony of the West river road.
Augusta, who on Jan. 4 reached that
double milestone in their lives. Mr.
Cony, hale and hearty, will bo 85 on
next August 3 and Mrs. Cony, who
recently suffered a shock but is now
getting along nicely, will be 81 on
next April 24.
Their diamond wedding finds them
living on the old home place which
his grandfather on his mother’s side,
George Reed, built. The grandfather
fought in the Revolutionary war. He
was one of the earlier settlers of Au
gusta and died in 1848 at the age of
88 years. Even now Mr. Cony has in
his home some of the paper car
tridges and musket which his grand
father used. ,
There were many of the paper car
tridges in the Cony home but sev
eral years ago, the farmers along the
road had a celebration for the
Fourth of July and these old pieces
of ammunition went for that purpose.
Mr. Cony recalls that his grandfath
er had a great aversion for white
washed chimneys because the “white
wash” reminded him of Tory days.
The old homestead has stood for
over 200 years on the West River
load. True it has been improved
and brought up to the times. Mr.
and Mrs. Cony are living in what is
called the “old” part. Grandfather
Reed came to Augusta from Taunton,
Mass. He picked out the location for
his home-to-be and then returned to
Taunton, Mass., where he made the
nails which were brought back and
used in building the home. The
sturdy pioneer made a brickyard and
therein manufactured his bricks for
use in the home construction. The
lumber was also hewn out under his
skilful hands.
As a reminder of the good old days,
there stands, as well as the old
homestead the Reed schoolhouse
which was a free school given by
George Reed. He gave the money
wljjch made the starting of the free
i school possible. The building still
stands but is not in use at present.
Mr. and Mrs. Cony have lived'good
sweet lives and they show it now in
the mellow years. Both Mr. and
Mrs. Cony are believers in the Spir
itualism faith. The earlier years of
Mr. Cony’s life have been occupied
in doing carpenter work but of late
years he has farmed.
Mrs. Cony was born Mary A. Stone,
daughter of Milton and Eliza Choate
Stone of Augusta. The couple Who
have just passed their 60th wedding
anniversary have lived all their lives
in Augusta. They have two daugh
ters, Mrs. Fred Hayward and Mrs.
Linwood Dutton, both of Augusta.
Their grandson, Rex Church and
his wife, live in the other part of the
homestead on the West River road.
The many good wishes of countless
friends go to Mr. and Mrs. Cony.
their meeting at the Congregational
church parlors on Thursday, will tell
