TWAS with a great deal Of pleasure
that We read In the Bethel News, the ac-
count of the pleasant surprise party
given to Hon. K. w. Woodbury. on the
anniversary Of his eightieth birthday at
his home in Bethel. We would join the
very many who offer congratulations to
him, as he was the kind and genial friend
and neighbor Of our youthful days and
also Of after years, and wish him many
more years Of usefulness and enjoyment.
As was so finely expressed by his son,
Wesley n, we well remember the great
interest Mr.. and Mrs. Woodbury. took In
children and their pleasures, and every
new childish treasure Of our own was
always carried over to be shown to them,
and many pleasant words Of encourage
ment we're then given, which have
always been remembered. Truly indeed
do many rise up to call them pleased.
