MARRIED 70 YEARS
AN AUCKLAND RECORD MR. AND MRS. JOHN GEORGE Probably the oldest New Zealand born married couple, .Mr. and Mrs John George, of George Street, Onehunga, will celebrate to-day the 70th anniversary of their wedding. As both Mr. and Mrs George were born in Auckland 97 and 83 years ago respectively, the occasion is claimed to constitute a record for the longest partnership of the oldest. living New Zealandborn couple.
The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. George took place in the Church of the Assumption, Onehunga, on October 19, 1872, by the Rev. Father Paul. They have lived most of their lives at Onehunga. Mr. George's parents arrived at Auckland by the ship Louisa Campbell in 3842 and he was born three years later in a raupo whnre. at that time the onlr building in Wyndham Street. In 1847, when Onehunga was first settled by military pensioners, Mr. George's father opened one of the first hotels in the township, and when the Maori war broke out in 1563 scores of settlers in the Manukau district, with their wives and families, fled to Onehunga for protection. Such a sudden and extraordinary demand on the accommodation and food supplies of the village became a serious problem. This was satisfactorily solved by the action of Mrs. George's mother, who convened a public meeting, the outcome of which was the founding of the Onehunga Ladies' Benevolent Society," which will celebrate its 80th anniversary next year and is acknowledged to be the oldest ladies' organisation in the Dominion, and probably in the Empire.
Mrs. George was formerly Miss Lily Grimley, whose parents reached Auckland by the ship Bolivia in 1841. She also was born in Wyndham Street. She still enjoys good health. In view of Mr. George's advanced age the anniversary of the wedding will be celebrated quietly. Of the family of four sons and three daughters, all are living except one son who was killed in the last war. There are eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
