A GOLDEN WEDDING.
Mr.. and Mrs. Underwood of Atchison,
Were Married Aug. IS, 1857.

Atchison. Kan.-Today Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. r. Underwood are celebrating
their golden wedding, and the chill
dren and grandchildren are begin
ming to pour in. 1t will be the first
time all the members of the family
have been together in many years.
]. R. Underwood is an old time res
tdent of Atchison county. He has been
married fifty years, and he was un-
married when he first came here, and
had never seen or heard of the girl
who became his wife. He came from
Park county, Ind. in the fall of 1855
to visit an uncle in Oak Mills, and
there met Artilla Dooley, whose moth
er had taken Underwood's uncle for
her second husband. Perhaps this
meeting of Miss Dooley explains why
he returned to Kansas in the spring
of 1856.
The young girl who afterwards be-
came his wife dates back farther as a
pioneer than her husband. She was
brought from Indiana to Platte coun-
two years of age. Her father died and
her mother afterward married Allen
Hinson and moved to Oak Mills. Mr..
Underwood and Miss Dooley were
married August IS, 1857, but in those
days it was so hard to get a preacher
that there wasn't room in the calcula-
tons of brides and grooms for any
thing as useless as superstition. The
preacher came to Oak Mills only once
month and they had to be married
when he came. no matter what the
date, or put off the wedding another
month.
Mr.. and Mrs. Underwood stayed in
Oak Mills for a few weeks after their
marriage, and then drove to Doniphan
where they made their home for two
years. For few years they lived on
Mr.. Underwood's fathers farm north
west of their present home, and in
1856 bought the farm on which they
now live, and built the house which
has been their home ever since. They
are the parents of eleven children,
eight OF whom survive and all of
these eight are at the wedding They
are as follows: w P. Underwood
Atchison; Mrs. Ella Crouch, Hutchin-
son; c. G. Underwood, Chicago; A. J.
Underwood, Baker, Kan; Mrs Addie

mr.. RODGERS REPORT.

fore attempting to arrive at a final
verdict.
