The 25th wedding anniversary of
two of Kingsbury couuty's prominent
families was celebrated at Lake Pres
ton Wednesday evening of last week.
We take the following account of the
affair from the Times: The Lutheran
church was the scene of a pleasant
gathering last evening, July 9th, it
the twenty-fifth anniversary of
the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob
Johnson. The members of the
Lutheran societies and intimate
friends had planned a silver wedding
celebration for Mr.. and Mrs. Knute
Lewis when the anniversary occurred
early in June but circumstances inter
fered with the program. 1t was then
decided that as Mrs. johnson and
Mrs. Lewis were sisters the silver
weddings could very nicely be cele
brated together. The church was
filed to its full capacity at the APP
pointed hour, $50 last evening, when
the program was carried out. The
pastor, Rev. w. B. Dahl, called the
gathering to order in the audience
room and made a few very appro-
pirate remarks closing with the pres
entation of a silver tea set to each
couple. Timely responses We're made
by Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Johnson who
thanked the friends for their kindly
remembrance and words of good
cheer. An adjournment was then
taken to the basement where banquet
tables were spread for one hundred
ten people, and the tables were filled
twice before all were served. The
meal included all the delicacies of
the season and toothsome eatables
