anniversary of Mr.. Davis. This
event was also in the nature Of a

welded sons and their wives, who
were recently married in Utah. The
eldest son, Edwin S. Davis, was mar
ried to Miss Priscilla Bennett,
daughter of Justice of the Peace
William Bennett, of San Jose, and
Clarence Davis, the other son, was
united, in matrimony to Miss Ethel
Ferrin, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Ferrin, of Pima. This was
a jolly occasion, two weddings and
birthday celebrated at the same
time. Besides the immediate fami-
ly, there were present: Bishop j. r.
Welker, Mr.. and Mrs. John w. Nor
ris, Mr.. and Mrs. William M. Clay
don, Mr.. and Mrs. w. C. Faulkner,

Mrs. Ira Kempton, Mr.. and Mrs. D.
Thompson, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Ferrin, Misses Pearl and Fay Mon
teirth, Lola Fonda, MAY Thompson,
and Messrs. Delbert Welker, Roy

strumental music, singing, delicious
refreshments, fruit punch and social
conversation were the features of
the evening, and about 11:30, after
a most enjoyable time, all returned
to their homes wishing many happy
returns of the day to Mr.. Davis,
and a very prosperous and happy
voyage along the matrimonial sea
for the two grooms and their brides.
