A
very pleasant event took place on Tuesday, Oct. 11, at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Wesley Woodley, Willow Grove Farm, it being the 27th
anniversary of their wedding day.
Mr. and Mrs.
Woodley, by their social manner, endeavored to make everyone present
feel comfortable and as much at home as possible. After an exchange of
Universal greeting had taken place, the company was invited to the
dining room where a sumptuous repast was awaiting them.
After ample
justice had been done here, Rev. S. G. Harris led in a few words of
prayer, after which Mr. W. D. Cunningham was called to the chair.
Short speeches
were made by Messrs. Alex. Nelles, John Olmstead, Ward Foster, A. H.
VanLoon, M. Bonham, J. B. Johnson, D. Y. Tryller and a few others, all
expressing themselves highly pleased in being present on such an
occasion, and in a pleasant way referring to many amusing events of
former years.
Mr. Woodley made
a very neat little speech, speaking of the number of changes, which
had taken place during the past 27 years. A great many near and dear
friends had passed away and gone to their reward, there being only
four present today out of a number of 110, 27 years ago.
After enjoying a
very pleasant and social afternoon, the party was brought to a close
by singing "God be with you till we meet again" and a
farewell handshake.
