Fifty years past August 3lst., Pc
ter Greenwade was married to Miss
Mollie Ramey, daughter of John RAJ
mey, Of this county, Elder Curran
Maxey officiating. Mr.. Greenwade
at the time of his marriage was
resident of that part of Bath coun4
ty which is now in Menefee. Mr..
and Mrs. Greenwade faced the flu
ture not with riches as their sun
shine but with those dominant quail
tiles that ever join with success
Love and Determination linked with
the Christian faith in Him. Thus 1T
was that this pair faced their flu
lures, with minds of a single thought
and hearts beating as one. Leaving
the parental home Mr.. Greenwade
had in money $5.25 that he could
call his own, borrowed in order to
purchase his marriage license and
to pay the officiating minister, and
had friend to stand good for the
pay of his wedding outfit. The hap
DIV couple, rich in health and char
acter began life. Mr.. Greenwade as
a farm hand and she as frugal as
he for she too gathered and financ-
ed the small earnings that grew to
dollars until now they have q home
of their own with all modern con-
veniences, located on beautiful
site from which looking to the East
is viewed the heavens kissing earth
and making scenes worthy the ar
lists brush, and viewing again are
the beautiful expanse of 500 acres,
all their own, with their fields dotted
with the cattle of a thousand hills.
The ownership of these productive
fields are due to unrelenting toll and
! comes to them, Mr.. Greenwade at
, the age of 70 and his wife, 60 years
. The Lord cares for his own and
: brings Joy to father and mother
. passing on to life's sunset.
