OTTAWAY
_Diamond Wedding Notice Advertiser 5 November 1910 PORT ADELAIDE COUPLE HONORED. On
Friday evening a happy gathering was held in the Port Adelaide
Methodist Church Lecture Hall to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of
the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. John Ottaway, of Birkenhead, Port Adelaide.
In an interview with a representative of "The Advertiser" in June 1908,
Mr Ottaway said he and Mrs Ottaway were looking forward to celebrating
their diamond wedding, and the aspiration vvas fulfilled last evening.
Mr.Ottaway is 80 vears of age and is a colonist, of 72 years, vvhile
Mrs. Ottaway, has been in the State 62 years. The Mayor of Port
Adelaide (Mr. W.T. Reed) presided over a large gathering of relatives
and family connections. After the loyal toast had been honored the
Rev. R. S. Casely proposed "The old couple". He congratulated Mr. and
Mrs Ottaway upon having attained the sixtieth anniversary of their
wedding day and referred to their long and useful lives. Since becoming
acquainted with them in 1868 he said he had respected them most
sincerely. The Mayor said although Mr Ottaway had been 72 vears in
the State both he and Mrs Ottaway were as full of vigor as when he first
knew them. No doubt they had had their trials but these had been lived
through. He joined heartily in congratulating them. They had always
impressed him as having confidence in themselves, and the courage to be
true to their convictions. Mr. Ottaway had been a grand asset to Port
Adelaide, and had stood for all that was good and true. (Applause.) Mr.
Ottaway in responding said he and his wife greatly appreciated the
many nice things that had been said about them, but they were fully
conscious of their deficiences. He vvas 8 years old when landed in
South Australia, and he had the honor of attending the first Sunday
School formed, and hearing the first sermon preached in the State.
When 17 years of age he became a member of the Methodist Church, and had
been connected with it ever since. Both Mrs. Ottawav and himself owed
much to Methodism in the building up of their characters. His wife had
been for that upheaval he did not suppose; the French Revolution which
caused her to come to Australia, and if it had not been for that
upheaval he did not suppose she would have become his wife. (Laughter)
They had lived happily together and had had 13 children of whom seven
were alive, and in addition thev had 42 grand children and 22 great
grandchildren. He considered himself rich. While money might take to
itself wings and fly away, children were the heritage of the Lord.
(Applause ) The family was submitted by Mr P H Wright. He said he did
not know anyone who was more universallv respected in Port Adelaide
than his old friend, Mr Ottaway, He- wished all the familv Iong life
and prosperity. Mr J Ottaway, jun. responded. After the formal
proceedings had been gone through a musical programme was contributed.
A gramophone greeting from one of Mr and Mrs Ottaway's sons in
Western Australia was given this were rendered by Miss Johnstone and
Misses Ottaway and Bell: and Mrs and Miss Johnstone and Bell solos by
Miss Johnstone and Messrs J. Ottaway jun., and R. Butler and items by
Mr. J. Ottaway, jun., and Miss Johnstone.
