been forgotten.
Mr. and Mrs. Pitcher We're married
in Friendship so years ago by the Rev.
Hiram Murphy. She was formerly Miss
Lucy Wentworth. They lived in Wall
doboro for q time and came later to
Belfast, where they bought farm.
Some years ago they sold this and
came to live with their son, Elbridge
S. Pitcher. He is the only child of
their union, and his daughter. Miss
Gladys Pitcher, their only grandchild.
Mrs. Pitcher was married and wild
owed before her marriage to Mr..
Pitcher, and her son of that union,
John McTntire of Seal Harbor, was her
guest yesterday. A sentimental fea-
ture of the observance yesterday was
the wearing by Mrs. Pitcher of a
handsome old brown satin gown, which
has already been worn by two golden
wedding brides in the Pitcher family.
Miss Gladys Pitcher has the dis
tinction of being the granddaughter OF
two golden wedding brides. and the
eat-granddaughter of one, for among
her mothers ancestors two such OBJ
