GOLDEN WEDDING
OF Mr.. AND MRS. E.
A. BuRPEE, RoCKLAND

Rockland, Me, Dec. 1.-The Golden
wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar A.
Burpee Thursday night was made the
occasion Of a notable gathering, when
Wight Philharmonic Society, of which
he has long been director, gave a re-
ception in the couples honor.
The event was a surprise. The So
ciety held an informal "sing" and
lunch was served. A number of promi-
nent citizens were special guests.
Mr.. Burpee is considered to have a
larger acquaintance in Knox county
than any other person. He has been
an undertaken here for half century
and has been active in musical and
Grand Army affairs.
He was born in this city Dec. 16,
1889, a son of N. A. Burpee. In 1862
he enlisted as a private in the 18th
Maine Regiment and was eventually
promoted to captain. Recommending
in the enemy's territory, he was cap
tured. In the belief that he had been
killed the other officers caused his eff
fects to be sent home and he was
incurred for dead until news came
that another Rockland prisoner of war
had seen him being moved southwark.
Mr.. Burpee was imprisoned in a
stockade at Macon, Ga. He suffered
many hardships, but by virtue of be-
ing an officer was accorded some spe-
cial privileges. Some of his comrades
took the chance of escaping by a tun-
mel and he, with others. kept up a con-
tinual singing to distract the guards
attention. Mr.. Burpee was finally ex-
changed.
He was wounded in the battle of
Gettysburg. while leading a charge.
1t was in this battle that a spent bull
let struck the hilt of his sword and
'febounded into the palm of his hand.
He pocketed the leaden pellet and still
has it as a souvenir.
After the war, Mr.. Burpee was en-
