      Mr. and Mrs. Edward Valliere Were Married Fifty Years Ago.

      The golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Valliere, of 410 Woodbridge street east, was celebrated yesterday at St. Joachim's church, Rev. Fr. Meinard administering the blessing of the church and celebrating high mass in honor of the happy event. The aged couple were married fifty years ago in St. Anne's church, and a remarkable and happy feature of the celebration yesterday was the presence at the altar of Louis Hubert, who had been best man on that occasion, together with the bridesmaid as well. Thirteen children have blessed the union, some of whom have died. The family and friends presented the couple with a gold clock as a memento of the happy occassion, and a wedding dinner was served at the family home. The living children of the couple who were present yesterday are George Valliere, of Lake Linden, Mich.; Mrs. Joseph Asseline, Mrs. Frank Asseline, and Henry Valliere, of Detroit.
