ANNIVERSARIES OF
MANY LOCAL PEOPLE
BEING CELEBRATED

| At
busy at the holiday season rs Saint
! Nicholas himself, is proven by thc
,aedd4nJ anniversaries which are
! being celebrated during the Yulc
! tide.
Most interesting among yestcr
| days anniversaries was that Of Mr.
and Mrs. Raw Edgar. who have the
distinction of being the first cou
! pie married in Imperial Valley.
! The Edgars wedding took place
in Imperial twenty -four wears age,
\ honeymoon trip from Impcrial
Valley was not at that time a simple
matter of stepping en- the train Or
into an automobile
Following the ceremony, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edgar left early in the after,
noon, driving horse and carving
their baggage in the back of the
buggy. The nearest railroad sta,
ton was at Flowing Wells, a few
milcs from the present location of
inland. The fording of the Alamo
river proved thrilling experience,
and the Edgars did not arrive at
their destination until nIght The
train left at O clock i'll the morn
ing.
Memories Recalled
Memories of the trip were recall
ed last night when Mr.. and Mrs
Edgar informally entertained Mr.
and Mrs. James W Giassford at
dinner.
An interesting coincidence is the
fact that the Edgars attractive
home on West Main street is locat,
Ell on a part of the original 100
acres taken up by Mrs. Edgar S
father, 5. ". Mitchell, in 1901. In
December Of that wear when Mrs.
Edgar, then Miss Ma5lc MitchclN
and her mother came - the valley,
they were two of the seven er eight
women who were permanent resi-
dents al that time.
Nj. Mitchell later sold his land
and when the Edgars prchascd five
acres of what had previously be
longed to Mrs. Edgar S father, ihY
price for their small tract consider
ably exceeded the price at which
MIR. Mitchell had sold the entire
leo
