Mr.. and Mrs. Van Voorhees, were married in
1865, and having lived in this city since, are
well and favorably known TO the majority of

| valuable presents given them on the twentieth
al niversary of their marriage was proof Of
this. Not only did the residents of this city
remember them, but st. Paul and other
places sent in their quota of beautiful and
useful articles, and as the following list will
| show, Mrs. Van Voorhees, will have some
di tiiculty in storing them all, although a very
fine oak sidehoard was among the presents.
The large number of guests were entertained
in a princely manner, as the most and hostess
are noted for their successful management
of such large parties. The supper was very
fine, and as the parlOrs are connected by
folding doors the dancers had a good sized
hall. In one dance, three generations took
part, Mrs. Mowers, mother of Mrs.
Van Voorhees,; Mrs. Van Voorhees, and
her daughter miss of some
twelve years. The following were the
