Quiet Observance Made Happy For
 Couple By Family Reunion

Rack in the days when Putnam as a eity was not thought of in the days When Putnam as a town lighted its streets with kerosene lamps; when i good dirt road took the place of today's macadam highway; when ap- uendieitis operations were not so popular as now; back in those days Wr. and Mrs. Francis N Harris of West Woodstock were married at the brides home in Putnam by the pre- siding elder Of the local Methodist Episcopal church, Elder Brewster. The notable occasion in their lives was May 12. 1s62-just slNty-two wears ago last Monday.

 Many couples are privileged to make merry together on their golden wedding day, upon their attainment af a half century of married life. But their number k far fewer who live to celebrate their sixty-seeond N edding anniversary. So with Monday aame a distinctive day in the lives of Ar and Mrs. Harris.

Ii was quite q family gathering and there were as sembled the two sons and two daugh- ters of the couple and their families. Ii being Mothers Day added to the appropriateness Of the observance.

To- day. however. there seems to be less confidence in his getting better this time.
