Lemon, their pastor, in behalf of the Baptist church to which the aged couple have belonged for many years, presented them with purse, and brief religious services followed. A hand some easy chair was presented to them by Mrs. George Stiles, and beautiful lamp by Marshall Tilden. MT. Johnson responded and gave some bits from his experience. It was the custom in the days of their courtship to announce from the pulpit several Sundays before the event every contemplated marriage Theirs was so announced and he was present to see that the notice was cor rectly read, but she with womanly mod esty remained at home.
