Thomas Hutchison and Miss Mary
Waite, who were united In marriage AT
the old Waite homestead In Beechwoods
on November |, 1855, celebrated their
golden wedding at their commodious
home In Winslow township, near Pan
coast, last Wednesday, The brides
maid and best man of fifty years ago,
Mrs. Lavina Hughes, of Dubois, and
John Keys, OF Brockwayville, attended
the golden wedding. Among the gifts
was u gold headed cane for Mr.. Hutch
ison, gold ring for Mrs. Hutchison,
two rocking chairs and two Morris
chairs. From the Falls Creek Herald
we clip the following
zone of the most important social
events In the history OF Falls Creek was
the celebration of the golden wedding
of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Hutchinson,
who reside on their farm about two
miles west Of town. The event had
been planned and talked about for a
long time and regardless of the cold and
disagreeable weather that prevailed
throughout the day, aboutfour hundred
people, both old and young, gathered at
the Hutchlson homestead to celebrate
in an appropriate manner the fiftieth
wedding anniversary of two of tho most
highly esteemed people in this section
of the country. In the morning people
began to arrive and not until late in the
evening did they stop coming, friends,
relatives and acquaintance from all
parts of the county and adjoining coun-
ties and by the noon hour the large,
commodious home of the aged couple
was we'll filed. Some were young and
sprightly and others were old and
feeble, but they we're all happy. Each
and every one was bent on making the
day such one that would be forever In
the memory of those present and their
efforts were successful. The old were
young again and together they visited
and talked, laughed and were merry.
But at noon the program was changed
and the majority of the people went to
the barn whore long tables had been
arranged and were heaped with the
most delicious and appetizing eatables
that could be had. Those who did not
go to the barn found the same delicacies
at the house and though the crowd was
great the dinner was greater and left
nothing to be desired"
