5OTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Henry lobe and Wife of Denison were
Married SO Years on Christmas Day

Mr.. Henry lobe and wife celebrat-
ed in q quiet way the fiftieth annlver-
sary of their marriage on Christmas
Day, and the event is worthy to be
noted. 1t appear that Henry lobe
and Julia Marshall were married in
McHenry county Illinois in 1857. 1t
was not long before the call for
troops to save the nation came. and
Mr.. lobe was one of the men to bid
his wife and little one farewell, not
knowing whether he would ever see
them in health again. He was a
member of Co. E 95th Illinois Infant
ry. and saw service in the extreme
south. He was at the surrender of
Vicksburg doing as we hear his full
duty. 1t was twenty-three year ago
that the family came here and went
on the farm out in East Boyer. 1t
did not take long for the members to
make friends. There were three
children: Sidney. Cora and Effie.
Effie was particularly sweet girl.
and her death was sad blow to the
family and her friends. For nine
years Mr.. and Mrs. lobe have lived
in town, the farm being now conduct
ed by Sidney. Cora is the wife of
Mr.. VIM. Lorenzen and lives on a
farm near Manila.
With many other friends we extend
congratulations to this worthy couple.

GRINNELL CONCERT.

The Grinnell Glee Club was great
success in every way except in point
of numbers which it sadly lacked.
The twenty third of December is
every ones busy day. but it was with
much regret that so many of our peo-
pie were obliged to stay away. The
Glee Club is we'll balanced and did not
make the mistake of selecting music
too difficult for them to give. They
sang the old pulse quickening.
happy college days kind of songs that
takes the heart back to its own care
free day when all the world was
young.
Mr. Davis the vocal solist sang q
group of songs that were greatly en-
joyed. he has fine voice used most
effectively and sings with great ex-
preston. His ballads were unusually
good.
The trio. violin. cello and piano was
a number which was greatly liked
and the varied nature of the program
was also subject for favorable COM
ment.
We are glad the boys came and
hope they will come again when more
of our people may have the pleasure
of hearing them.

years he was foremost machinist and
electrician for the Beno firm at Coun-
c Bluffs, being very valuable in his
line. He had been married and three
children were at the funeral. Orwin
