AGED FATHER HELPS
To CELEBRATE SONS
GOLDEM N WEDDING
Mr.. and Mrs. George Weaver Had
Forgotten They We're We'd
ded so Years Ago
Special TO The Telegraph,

Shiremanstown, Pa, Jan. s. - Mr..
and Mrs. George Weaver yesterday
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of
their wedding. Although quite a num-
ber of golden weddings have been obi
served in Cumberland county, there
has possibly not been an event of the
kind in which a parent of either party
was present. Daniel Weaver, father
of the bridegroom. who will be 95
years old next month attended the
festivities and enjoyed them no less
than did his son and the latter's wife.
Another interesting feature of the
gathering was the presence of a hVe-
sssepatipn group made up of Daniel
Weaver, his son. George Weaver. the
latter's daughter, Mrs. Clara Hake.
her son, Scott Hake, and Mr. Hake's
children.
A supper marked the anniversary
celebration, which was arranged by
the children and other relatives of
Mr.. and Mrs, Weaver.
Had Forgotten Event
The event was a complete surprise
to the couple, both of them having
forgotten that yesterday, fifty years
ago they were married. When their
children and other relatives began to
arrive, bringing presents and things
to make up the supper they treated
the matter as a joke until one of the
number exclaimed, why. this is jan
uary z, and you were married fifty
years ago.
