GOLDEN WEDDING: TRUMPER - BENBOW
Gold and mauve were the colours of the decorations used at the golden wedding celebrations of Mr and Mrs B. Trumper, at their residence, Riverslea,- Temuka, on December 30, 1929. A large family gathering of over 50 guests partook of a sumptuous wedding breakfast, when the usual toasts were honoured. In the evening, a dance and games were held in the granary, where a large gathering of their sons and daughters, with their children, enjoyed themselves till the early hours of the morning. The singing of Auld Lang Syne brought a most enjoyable function to a close. Mr and Mrs Trumper, who were born in Ludlow, Shropshire, arrived in Lyttelton by the sailing ship Huntress, in 1863.
Mrs Trumpers family left Lyttelton for Timaru, taking up their residence in the Temuka district, where they resided till Miss Benbows marriage to Mr Trumper. Mr Trumper arrived in Temuka in 1874, and since their marriage they have resided continuously in the Geraldine and Temuka districts, where Mr Trumper successfully followed the farming occupation, retiring some twelve years ago.
