CELEBRATE THEIR
SILVER WEDDING
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank L. Johnson, Prom
inent Stockholm Township Couple,
Married twenty-five Years.
MARRIED NEAR HOUSTON, MINI
Participate in Double Wedding, Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. w. Anderson
Being the Other Couple.

twenty-five years ago the 30th OF
December occurred the wedding of Mr.
Chas. w. Anderson and Miss Bertha
Benson and Mr.. Frank L. Johnson and
Miss Lena Abraham, at the coy home
OF Chas. A. Benson on Swede Bottom
The evening was cold and stormy and
not an ideal night for young people
to set forth on the matrimonial sea of
life.
These two couples have enjoyed life
and prospered and again on last Sat
urday evening, December 3Oth, with a
severe snow storm reigning supreme
without, at the home of G. w. An
derson, on Swede Bottom, we find the
same couples, older in years, but not
in spirit, surrounded by their immedi-
ate relatives, celebrating their silver
wedding.
At an early hour supper was served,
a supper that resembled that memoir
able supper of quarter of a century
ago, to which the relatives present
did ample justice. After the meal was
over, conversation, recalling reminis-
cences of the past, was INDUCED in,
producing at times peals of laughter
and at times sorrowing thoughts.
AS the night drew on Charles Alb
raham, brother of Mrs. Johnson,
arose, and in a few words told of the
former wedding, recalling the past
and picturing the future. After his
remarks, Mr. George Johnson, of
Chester, Iowa, spoke briefly, in re-
Spouse to which Mr. Frank Johnson
responded, wildly picturing the for
mer wedding and speaking of the hap
py years that have flown so fast, and
that never a cloud had dimmed their
lives that had not silver lining He
also gave the younger generation pres
ent the good advice to get busy" that
they too would some day be able to
celebrate their 25th wedding day; that
the world had no use for half man"
and the sooner he takes to himself a
better half" the better.
G. j. Swenson then spoke few
words, after which the old and famil.
lar hymn of God be with you till
we meet again." was sung.
At this time coffee and cake were
served, during which Mr.. Swenson
presented the bridal couples each
with beautiful silver coffee set, a
