Williams Golden Wedding Celebrated by Wellington Couple
Wellington Township residents Florus C. Williams and his wife observed their golden wedding anniversary on October 22 at their farm two miles north of Wellington Village. Married in Pittsfield Township on October 22, 1874, they have spent most of their lives on the Wellington area farm. Daniel Williams, Florus’s father, helped form the Oberlin Wellington Rescue party of 1859 and was jailed briefly in Cleveland over fugitive slave laws. The celebration drew about seventy five guests from California, Norfolk Virginia, Cleveland, Willard, Oberlin and Lorain, with a dinner and a gift purse of gold coins presented by Rev. Smith.
