Next Wednesday, January 20, will be an important milestone in the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Lemon Mastin of Honeoye, for on that date open house will be held at their home in honor of their 50th wedding anniversary. The hours are 3 to 5 in the afternoon and 7 to 9 in the evening.

Lemon Mastin and Clara Caskey were married on Wednesday, January 20, 1904, at 12 o’clock, the Rev. John Barnett, pastor of the Canadice and Springwater Methodist Churches, officiating. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Caskey, at Canadice Corners in the presence of about 50 guests. Lena Wright, who is now Mrs. Jay Becker, a cousin of the bride, and Willard Caskey, brother of the bride, were the only attendants. Following the ceremony a luncheon was served by the bride’s mother and sister, Mrs. Fred Kingsley, who was married about four years before in the same house and now resides in Honeoye.

After receiving congratulations and looking at their gifts, Mr. and Mrs. Mastin were driven by the groom’s brother, Sam, with horse and cutter over many snow drifts, to the Lehigh station at Hemlock. From there they went by train to Rochester to the home of Mrs. William Welch, the groom’s sister. This was the first trip to Rochester for either one of them.

Mr. Mastin says the part of the event he remembers most is that they tipped over in the snow bank coming off Canadice Hill, and that as a result his patent leather shoes cracked.

Mr. and Mrs. Mastin lived on Canadice Hill for a few years, then bought the Gabriel Coykendall farm where they lived until about nine years ago. Then they bought the Othello short place in Honeoye, where they now reside.

Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Mastin. The oldest son, Elwin, and wife Emeline will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary on February 23, 1954. Five of the children graduated from Honeoye High School, three from treachers training class at Canandaigua, following which they taught in the local district schools. Two sons graduated from the Geneseo Normal. One son served in the Navy for two years, and one in the Army for four and a half.

Mr. and Mrs. Mastin have 17 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
