Mr.. Emerys parents, has boarded in
the home in more recent years, and
has had their children under his care
in the school room Thus he was
able to speak as but few friends
could and was listened to with
pleasure by all present
The esteem in which Mr. and Mrs.

gifts of gold, flowers, letters, poems,
cards and kilograms which came to
them, also by the many friends who
came to visit them on this their
golden wedding anniversary.
