Wed For Half Century
THOMASTON —
It was snowing hard 50 years ago Tuesday when Mervyn Ray Kalloch and Emma Carroll were married in Portland, but
the weather was not of much consequence. Neither was the foggy rainy weather of this week when
and relatives visited them to congratulate them on observing their Golden Anniversary.
Ray and Emma are Warren natives but lived the early years of their marriage in the Portland area, moving to
Thomaston in 1928. They raised two children, Mrs. Kenneth Reed of
Warren and Philip Kalloch of Thomaston. Ray now is retired as a carpenter but Mrs. Kalloch looks forward to her
22nd year working in Reed’s Gift Shop next spring.
The Kallochs have three grandchildren, Arthur Reed of Warren; Philip Reed, a student at the University of Maine in Orono, and Mrs. Victoria King of
Hampden. Little Mya-Lisa King is their only great-grandchild.
While Ray has enjoyed his profession, he has lived a quiet life. Mrs. Kalloch has been active in Order of Eastern
Star for 30 years. She also belongs to the American Legion Auxiliary and the World War I Auxiliary. She also was a
charter member of the Club of Seven.
Among the visitors on Tuesday were Mrs. Kalloch’s sister, Mrs. Susie Peters of Thomaston and her brother, George
Carroll of Rockland; their niece and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Gross of Scotland, Conn., and his
brother-in-law, Henry Carroll of West Rockport.
A nephew, Merrill Kalloch of Fallbrook, Calif., telephoned congratulations, and many friends dropped in to call.
A tall anniversary cake was served by Mrs. Arthur Reed. - -
