FORMER MISSIONARIES
To THESE ISLANDS

The New Haven Union contains a
picture of Mr.. and Mrs. Melville M.
Cover, sitting at home, Mr. Cover
reading the Hawaiian Gazette. The
picture goes with the following story:
One week ago Mr.. and Mrs. Melville
NJ. Cover, of this city, celebrated their
golden wedding at their home, "a Wool
sey street, when about eighty of their
friends paid them a surprise and left
over $3.50 in gold as token of their
esteem.
This couple have been residents of
New Haven nearly forty years. Both
are natives of Maine At the time of
their marriage, Mr.. Cover came on
from the Sandwich Islands where he
had resided for some time, to wed, and
the bridal tour was to the islands,
where they lived for some time after
There were no steamers to the islands
in those days and Mr. and Mrs Cover
made the trip to San Francisco in 157
days in a packet ship. After the ship
had remained for a month to reft, the
voyage to Honolulu was resumed. Mr.
Cover resided in the islands for six
teen years He is familiar with the
history and growth of the islands and
several times has delivered an interest
ing illustrated lecture in this city con-
cerning them. At one time Mr., Cover
was talked of as a candidate for the
representative of the United States in
the islands long before annexation.
Mr.. Cover is still much interested in
the islands and the picture in The
Union today shows him reading a copy
of the Hawaiian Gazette. The couple
are in excellent health and their friends
hope they may celebrate many returns
of their anniversary.
