GOLDEN WEDDING
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Stone o. almouth
-Four Generate ms Were Present
Among Other Gifts Were 100 Bright Gold
Dollars,

|
1t was pleasant gathering at the
homestead of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry M.
Stone at Falmouth, Saturday, when
their golden wedding was celebrated. 1T
was so years ago that Mr.. Stone was
married to Miss Catherine Blake of
Cabot. VT For many years they have
lived in the house where yesterday az
ternoon they received many friends and
neighbors who called to pay their respects
to the worthy couple. The parlors were
prettily decorated for the occasion with a
profusion of beautiful flowers. About
30 members OF the family made up the
family circle. Mr.. and Mrs. Stones
three children had come home to help
celebrate the event. They are Mr.. Elmer
d. Stone of South birmingham, who
was accompanied by his daughter, Mrs.
G. +. Dunlap, and Miss e. Miriam Stone
Of this CITY. Mr.. and Mrs. Dunlap's
two sons, Deacon G. A. Dunlap and Mr..
Morris e. Dunlap were in the group, and
there were Mr.. G. c. Dunlap's little son
Erlon Morris, SO that four generations
and Mrs. Josephine Nevens, daughters
of the late Captain VINO. Stone, were in
| attendance. Rev. Mr.. Flint and his wife,
were among the many callers. Instru-
mental and vocal music was part of the
entertainment and a fine repast was
served. Mr. and Mrs. Stone are both
persons as active as many couples who
I, In 1sJ n
and they keenly enjoyed the presence of
| their family under their roof again and
| the visits of their old friends and neigh
bors. 1t was recalled by the older guests
| that 25 years ago, when Mr.. and Mrs.
| Stone celebrated their silver wedding,
Mr.. Stones father, the Rev. Samuel
Stone, was present, although then an aged
man.
Mr.. Henry Stone has been connected
with the Grand Trunk railway since the
days when the old Atlantic & St. Law
renee was still in process of construction.
When the station at Falmouth was es-
tablished Mr.. Stone was made the agent
and sold the first pasteboard when the
ticket office consisted of table placed
in the shade of tree. Mr.. Stone per-
formed his duties we'll and in his many
years of service has become widely and
favorably known to the travelling pub
lie. When the telegraph system was in
troduced and it became necessary that the
agents should understand how to mani
pulate the key, Mr.. Stone promptly ao-
quired the art.
The guests yesterday, besides many
good wishes, left with Mr.. and Mrs.
Stone 100 bright gold dollars.
