The following we copy from a Nashua,
n. III. paper, and will be Of interest TO
many people in this vicinity: at was
very pleasant and agreeable manner I'm
which party of about 40 of the friends Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac o. Woodward remem-
bered that yesterday was the Goth anniver-
sary of that couples marriage, or rather
that they remembered the occasion. Early
last evening their friends began TO gather
at the home of Mrs. Ella Ashley, and about
O'Clock they all marched TO the Wood
wards residence at 80 Summer street. II
was a genuine surprise they gave that
couple, but they were made welcome Just
the same. The first part of the evening
was devoted to whist and proved very en-
joyable. Then came refreshments and
then came the real fun of the evening. Col.
Charles L. Lund cleared his throat and
called for order. When he got IL, he pre-
scented Mr.. and Mrs. Woodward, ON behalf
of the assembled friends, with very
handsome book case, some fine table linen
and other appropriate gifts. Mr.. A. b.
W inn also made few pertinent remarks.
Mr.. and Mrs. Woodward responded as well
as they could, and considering their lack
Of preparation and complete surprise they
did remarkably well. They have the best
wishes for their future happiness and pros
perity of hundreds of friends who did not
participate in last nights festivities. Mr..
Woodward and his wife, Alice (Bryant)
Woodward, were married i'm Lowell, Jan.
10, 1879, and they have lived in Nashua
ever since. Mrs. Woodward is a native OF
Vermont, while her husband is q son OF
the Granite state, being born IN the town
Of Lebanon. Both are prominent and
highly esteemed people. Mr.. Woodward
is an Odd-FeIlow and i5a well-known bus
mess man."
