A LONG LINE
Mrs, Chiefly Attends Wedding Of
the Grandchild Of. Her
GrandchiEd.
(special Dispatch to Tho Times

WAKEFIELD, VA. Dec. 12.-An interest
ing and pretty marriage took place at
Antioch Church, near Sturgeonvlle, this
afternoon The two persons happily
united by Rev. W G. Boggs We're Thomas
Chiefly and Miss Norah Chiefly. The par
ties are distantly related, but the kinslip
is far removed The groom is a prosper
Gus young farmer OF Brunswick county,
and is held in high esteem in his comnu-
nifty. In addition to her personal charms,
the fair bride attracts great interest be-.
cause of her relationship ano removes
in connection with q paternal ancestor.
That ancestor is Mrs. Maggie CHEEKY, who
for years has dwelt under the same roof
that sheltered the new-made bride.
The fact OF an aged ancestor and one
of her descendants sojourning together
may not seem remarkable. Ordinarily it
is not notewcrty, but in this instance it
is remarkable For the bride under con-
Sideraton is the STandcnild OF the grand
child of the said Mrs. Maggie Chiefly.
Five generations of one family were
in evidence at the marriage to-0ay.
Does The Times know of another case of
five generations mastering to a marriage?
This great-gccat-g grandmother is nearly
ninety-sS years old. Her health is ex-
century mark. She enjoys outdoor ram
bles. She is younger in many ways than
some of her grandchildren. Her senses
are normal and strong. There are but
few if any. signs of mental weakening.
She is z sunny, sweet-tempered. Dear old
lady. beloved by all who are privileged to
know her. She has been a Christian SO
long that heaven and the religious life
are as real to her as the earthly home
and the earthly life. She loves to talk
Of heaven, Of her Saviour, of her religious
experience, with it's JOY and assurance.
She is a devoted Methodist. but free from
bigotry. Eighty years ago, in her dawning
womanlood she saw the old-time Net
odists give expression to their religious
feelings when happy" The habit still
cinss to her, and finds expression in
outward praises when her heart takes
fire as she talks of the love of Goo. And
because her heart is so pure and because
the more than eighty years of Il beaut-
full, consistent Christian life is SO i'm
pressive, it seems tremendously natural
for this dear old mother in Israel to out
wardly rejoice in God, her Saviour.
