month for anniversaries, and no hap
pier time or anniversary as the
fifth anniversary. On June /, 1869
Miss Mildred Buckner, then of st.
Charles, Mo-, was married to Mr.. W,
F. Whitney also of st. Charles, No.
The bride was the daughter of Judge
and Mrs. A. B. Buckner who later
lived here, and no prettier bride could
have been found anywhere in st. Char
les County than this young lady was.
The groom was just as handsome and
this couple was the happiest of the
day. They later moved to this city
and have lived at the Judge Buckner
place on South Jefferson street for
years. On last Tuesday fell the fftieth
anniversary of their marriage. Their
honeymoon has lasted all through the
years and on this anniversary they as
a young bride and groom again. On
Tuesday evening a few of their friends
and relatives gave them a surprise
party and brought gifts to this couple
whom they love and who are as young
in heart as they were fifty years ago.
After enjoying a couple of hours of
conversation and congratulations Mrs.
Chas. Buckner invited the guests to

the dining room. The table was most
attractively conferred with a brides
bouquet Of old fashioned flowers
which Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Evans gave.
