RECEPTION FOR Mr.. AND MRS. {. 7.
CHANPLIN AT VERNON Center

With you we look back o'er the years
At the hardships, trials, hopes and
fears.
Dispensed by Chance and Fate
Since you, as fearless pioneers
With visions clear, undimmed by
tears
Came west to build a state.
Fierce savages you found to tame
A wilderness you helped reclaim
Behold what you have wrought!
Though not enrolled in halls of fame,
Esteemed and honored is your name
Wreathed by our loving thought.
No stores of gold will we display
Before your eyes in proud array;
But greater is the wealth
OF our good wishes as we say
On this your golden wedding day;
Long life, and joy and health.
