Celebrate Golden Wedding
AT THEIR HOME TODAY.
Honored Couple Have Resided Since
Marriage on the Farm Where They
Entertained Today Many
Friends.

AT their pleasantly located residence
on Beckley Hill, just outside the city
limits, in house which has sheltered
them for half century, Mr. and Mrs.
David Boles today entertained their
many friends on the occasion Of the
fiftieth anniversary Of their marriage.
The old homeplace, the rendezvous for
many happy parties, was this afternoon
the scene of gayety unsurpassed, as the
acquaintance from the surrounding Sec
tion gathered to pay their respects 10
the worthy couple.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Boles entered into
the spirit OF the occasion with much
zest. In spite Of the fact that their
years are considerable, time has dealt
kindly with them, and they are quite
well and fully capable OF enjoying a
/ good time. Mr.. Boles lacks few months
Of being 50 years Of age, and his wife
is still two years short Of the three
score and ten. Her maiden name was
| Vienna Beckley, she being the daughter
Of the late Luther Beckley. Mr.. and
Mrs. Boles were married September IL,
/ 1855, BY the Rev. Edward Copeland
Their present residence Is the birth
! place of Mr.. Boles, and the wife was
born on farm adjoining on the north,
the farmhouse being almost in sight Of
the Boles residence. So Mr.. Boles has
spent nearly 81 years on the place. 1t
was settled by Abel Sawyer IN the lat
ter part OF the eighteenth century. II
was one Of the first settled farms in
the town Of Wildersburgh, the old name
Of Barre. For q century the place has
been in the family.
After gaining an education in ths
district schools, Mr.. Boles learned thi
blacksmith's trade with his grandfather
Although he has long since given uI
that, he is still skilled in the use O.
tools and occasionally turns his atten
tion to showing the younger generation
J what he can do.
Mr. Boles has never aspired to publi
i office, but almost every position in th,
town has been offered him urgently
Possessed of ample means, he has pre-
ferred to live quiet life on his farm
Mrs. Boles has much skill with tn
brush, and has done we'll in the por
trayal Of nature.
Their only child, son, died whei
quite young. Mrs. Boles has two broth
| ers, John and Fred Beckley, and on
! sister, Mrs. Z. NJ. Averill all Of whom
! reside in this city.
J The honored couple were the recipient
t today of large number Of presents
! and this in spite Of the fact that !
E was their wish that their friends refrai
| from making gifts.

About the Disappearance of
Rochester Man.
DEAD BODY RECOVERED
James Parker Left Considerable Prop
erty and 1t Is Not Known if
Any Relatives Survive
Him

Rochester, Sept. 11.-The mystery
about the disappearance Of James Park
er, who went away from the home OF

ed up Saturday when the badly decom-
posed body OF the man was discovered
one-quarter of mile east of this yil-
lage by young hunter, named Page.
Beside the body was a bottle which
had contained laudanum.
When Parker went away from the
Tinkham home it was supposed that
lie had gone to visit relatives, and no
great apprehension was felt. He was
supposed to have sister residing in
Canada, also a brother, whose residence
was not known
Parker came to this place about twen-
ty years ago He worked as stage driy.
er Between this place and Hancock, and
later went to work on Mr.. Tinkham's
farm. Parker entrusted to Mrs. Tink-
ham S70 in money and bank book
on the Rutland County bank, contain
ing entries for $4,000. He was so year;
old and so far as known was not mar
ried. The local authorities have start
ed hunt to ascertain If there are any
relatives living. The body was buried
at once.
Parker was very much liked here
