Mr.. AND MRS. ]. H. WHITE CELE-
BRATE A NOTABLE EVENT.
A sUMPTUoUs SUPPER SERVED
Many Friends of the Well Known Couple
Gather to Congratulate them on Their
Forty five Years of Happy Married
Life

Mr.. and Mrs. j. 81. White, two of the
oldest and most respected residents of
the city, celebrated the forty fifth an
niversary of their marriage Friday
evening at their home on Congress
street and the event was made nota-
BILE one IN the history of these two early
settlers of the city and county. All
DAY long they received the congrat-
ulations of their friends, and in the
evening they were the hosts at one of
the most delightful dinner parties ever
given in the city.
About fifty of their friends had been
invited and when they sat down around
the we'll filled table at half past seven
every seat was filed with loyal friends
who were glad to be present at the
celebration of so notable an event. In
honor of the affair the entire house had
been deliberately decorated with all
kinds of flowers and green foliage
while the table at which the guests
was seated were resplendent in its
decorations of smilax and carnations.
After supper was over the guests re-
turned to the parlors and spent the re-
mainder of the evening in conversation
and music, the latter being furnished
by Professor Rawson and daughters of
Racine.
Among those who partook in the
pleasant celebration were Mesdames
and Messrs. Davy, Blush, Dodge,
Royce, Arnold, Anderson, Marden,
Winnegar, Schumacher, Mesdames j.
White. Pufer and Kent, and Miss
Hensel and Mr.. Herbert Crook. Mr..
and Mrs. White were assisted in enter
tanning by their daughter, Mrs. Joseph
Holderness, and sons.
Mr.. and Mrs. White were the recipi-
ents of many beautiful and costly
presents, which will serve as souvenirs
of their forty five years of happy and
cOntented married life.
The celebration of this event will be
of more than usual interest il this city
because of the large acquaintance of
Mr.. and Mrs. White in the city and
country. The two are among the
Oldest settlers of this part of the state,
both of them having lived here for
period of over fifty years. Mr.. White
was born in Oneida county, New York,
in 1880, and is just rounding out his
three score and ten years of life.
When he was fifteen years of age he
ran away from home and soon found
his way to this county where he has
since resided. He has always been a
builder ard contractor and wherever
he is known he is highly respected.
His sterling honesty is one of the fea-
lures of his character, and his boast
is that no man can say that j. 81.
White owes him cent.
Like her husband, Mrs. White was
born in New York, in November, 1888.
When quite a young girl she came to
this city and shortly after she and Mr..
White were betrothed. Their path
through life has been pleasant one
They have two children, Mrs. J. G..
Hol0erness, living near her parents in |
this city, and Lester White, a we'll
known farmer living at Cogswell, Nd.
This paper joins large number of
friends and relatives in wishing that
Mr.. and Mrs. White will be permitted
to live to celebrate golden wedding
at the end of the next five years.
