Silver Wedding at Tarlee 1908


SILVER WEDDING AT TARLEE

 A very interesting and successful function took, place on September 9, when Mr. and Mrs. David G. Stribing, of Fairview Farm, near Tarlee. celebrated their silver wedding. On September 5, 1883, Mr. D. G. Stribling was married to Miss Priscilla Keyworth at Salisbury, by Rev. T. Douding, now of Mannum. They settled on the farm where they now reside, and have had a prosperous and happy life. 

A large number of relatives and friends assembled, including Mr. Keyworth, of Salisbury, father of Mrs. Stribling, whose venerable presence was much appreciated by the guests. Their present pastor (Rev. Henry Coombs, of Kapunda Baptist circuit) and his wife were also present. 

The wedding breakfast was spread in the barn, which had been beautifully decorated. About eighty friends sat down—a number which would have been even larger had it not been Adelaide Show day. Many letters and telegrams of congratulation were received. The Rev. T. Douding proposed the health of the bride and bridegroom. Mr. D. G. Stribling responded. The Rev. H. Coombs proposed the health of the relations of the bride and bridegroom. Mr. George Stribling replied in a few humorous words. The health of the visitors was proposed by Mr. Horace Nock, and replied to by Mrs. Tuck. Mr. Keyworth replied on behalf of friends from a distance, and said he was glad that he had lived to see the day. Mr. Kiddle also spoke. Mr. C. Farrow took the happy couple for a ride in his motor car. Mr. and Mrs. Stribling were the recipients of many beautiful presents. 

Mr. D. G. Stribling is well-known as a member of the firm of Stribling Bros. He is an active member of the Agricultural Bureau, and is treasurer of the Tarlee Baptist Church, and superintendent of the Sunday-school in which Mrs. Stribling is a teacher.
