MYERS GOLDEN WEDDING.
Over Two Hundred Guests Enjoyed The
FiftIeth Anniversary.

Fiftieth Anniversary.
One OF the rare things OF the latter
days OF the 10Th century is a golden
wedding, and II tho American people
continue to ride on the bosom OF time
at the speed they are now going,
generally speaking golden weddings will
become more rare as the years roll on.
Most every week we can mention the
fact that some couple has entered the
matrimonial state. Such announce
ments are common, but golden weddings
are not.
At East Sandy, venango county, Pa,
April 4th, 1927, Il boy was born and he
was christened Jeremiah Myers. At
Reading, Pa, June >. 1880, n girl was
born whom the parents named Abbagail
Puff. At Jackson Furnace, Venango
county, Pa, June 3rd, 1917. wedding
ceremony was performed and the afore-
said Jeremiah Myers and Miss Abbagail
Puff were the happy couple. Twenty
three of the fifty years that they have
travelled life's pathway together were
spent at Punxsutawney and the last
twenty-five years were spent in this
place. 1t has not always been sunshine
on the way with this couple. Eight
children. four sons and four daughters,
were born unto them. The four sons
and one daughter have been laid away
in the ''silent city" Three times the
fire fiend robbed them OF their earthly
possessions.
Last Thursday being the iiftieth
anniversary Of Mr.. and Mrs. Myers
marriage, they issued invitations to a
large number of friends and relatives to
attend their golden wedding. The
hour set was 600 p. NJ. and soon after
the town clock struck six over two
hundred of the invited guests we're
present to do honor to the occasion.
The bride and groom Of fifty years ago
received their guests at the door.
A feast of good things for the inner
man had been prepared and it was the
intention to spread the tables on the
lawn. but imam proposes and God dis
poses" A heavy shower just before
five o'clock and few small showers
between that time and six o'clock,
settled the question Of feasting on the
lawn, although later in the evening one
table was set on the lawn. Mr.. Myers
home and that OF his son-in-law, Thomas
Evans, were not large enough to spread
the tables and seat all the people at one
time, so the older ones partook first.
After the tables had been cleared away
Mr.. w. S. Stone, who was chosen
spokesman, in a neat and appropriate
speech, presented Mr.. and Mrs. Myers,
in behalf Of the guests, with number
OF beautiful and useful presents, among
which were $500 in gold, 800 in
paper money, set of dishes, l40 pieces,
rocking chair and rug. Mr.. John
Stellar, Of fPunxsutawney, made a short
and crisp address.

their lives at this time.
