a Birthday Anniversary.
BUTTON. March 25. 1ss0


Last Saturday afternoon our little village
was the scene of very pleasant assemblage
being the 18th anniversary of the birthday
of Mr.. Amos Stiff, one of our oldest and
most respected citizens. Mr.. Stiff was born
in Warren county, N. Y, March cath, 1914,
and removed to Oaklank county, Mich, in
1854. He had always followed farming un-
Til his removal to Burton in 1860. In 1864
he was appointed postmaster which posi-
ton he occupied. as postmaster or assistant
postmaster, until October 1888, and it was
but just that one who served the public so
long and so creditably should be remem-
bered.
About o'clock, p. m, men and matrons,
youths and maidens and children began to
assemble at the residence of w. G.. Stiff
who, with his estimabe wife, gave the
guests cordial welcome, and soon they
were seated in the spacious parlors of their
pleasant home. After a short time spent in
pleasant conversation the guests all joined
in singing Coronation" led by Mr. G. L..
Vandyne, followed by the reading of the
Holy Scriptures by Rev. James Riley and
PRAYER bv Rev. l.. Clark of Saginaw City,
A hymn. ''The Christians Hope" was then
sung, when Mcssrs. Mitchell and Mcbride
escorted the aged patriarch for such he
really seemed to bel TO IN arm chair and
Rev ID. s. Cramer presented him, in behalf
of the friends assembled, with purse con-
tanning nearly 1923, to which Mr.. Stiff re-
sponded in manner that drew tears from
the eyes of nearly every one present
The guests then listened TO a hymn, ''Oh!,
Had the Wings of Dove" and were in
vited to the dining room where tables were
laid FOR refreshments. AZ one of the tables
were seated Mr. Stiff and all of his children
and grandchildren. which was truly an
interesting sight
Table after table was filed until nearly
one hundred guests were served, and still
the supply was unlimited, as were the
hearty congratulations and good wishes that
were extended 10 Mr.. Stiff.
We were deeply indebted TO Mr.. and Mrs.
G. l.. vandyne and Miss Kittic Green for
musical favors, also to Mr.. j. K. VanHoten
for the the arrangement and carrying out Of
the program. Press.
