McPheeters' Home Is Scene Of Golden Wedding Reception.
Mr. and Mrs. L. A. McPheeters celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at a reception given at their home Monday evening from eight until ten o'clock. Mrs. Ralph McPheeters greeted guests at the door. In the receiving line were Mr. and Mrs. McPheeters, their nephew and niece, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. McPheeters of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and their cousins, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Erwin of Orlando. The honor guest, her niece and Mrs. Erwin wore corsages of yellow chrysanthemums. Mrs. Estelle Knobloek was in charge of the guest book. Arrangements of yellow pom-pom chrysanthemums and yellow zinnias were placed about the rooms. In the dining room the lace covered table was centered with a three-tiered square wedding cake embossed with yellow roses and topped with a gold archway from which hung a tiny wedding bell. The numerals "50" in gold were placed beneath the bell, with the names, "Lincoln and Eva," written in gold on the cake. On either side of the cake were low arrangements of yellow chrysanthemums. Assorted cookies, toasted pecans and yellow mints were arraigned around the cake. Mrs. Paul McPheeters served at the table, and was assisted by Mrs. Emory Knight and Mrs. Hampton McKelvey. Mrs. Lester McPheeters presided at the punch table, assisted by Miss Hattie Mae Davis. The large punch bowl was of crystal ice into which were frozen yellow chrysanthemums. The bowl was banked with fern. Mrs. Ralph McPheeters, Mrs. Paul McPheeters and Mrs. Lester McPheeters wore single blossoms of golden-glo in their hair. Mr. and Mrs. McPheeters were married in Algiers, Indiana, in 1891, and later moved to Florida. To them were born six children, five of whom are living. Only three were able to attend the reception: Ralph, Paul and Lester McPheeters. Harry is a resident of New York, and Clifford is a resident of Hawkinsville, Georgia. A number of lovely gifts were received by the guests, among them a golden vase presented by their children. During the evening many friends called to extend congratulations to them.
