GRANT RIVER
Silver Wedding Last Friday.

Silver Wedding Last Friday.
On May 20, 1900 Mr.. John Joyce
and Miss Addie Graney were united
in holy matrimony at st. Clements
church, Lancaster, Wis, and by that
act they precipitated upon themselves
the solemn responsibility of establish
ing an independent and distinct fam
lily. They were possessed of strong
hearts and willing hands, coupled
with enthusiasm of youth. They en-
countered, with courage the storms
and vicissitudes of life Meanwhile
children came to bless their home,
one boy, sturdy, honest Lad of whom
any parent might well feel proud,
two girls, who are now developing in
to Gods noblest handiwork of perfect
womanhood. Their labors were fur
Their rewarded by the possession of a
fertile farm on Grant river on which
they built barns and other buildings,
the house having been built previous
ly by the brides father, one of the
early pioneers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joyce have been much
sought, their home has been the
scene of many pleasant social gather
ings, none thoroughly enjoyed or sin
cerely appreciated more than when on
the twenty-fifth wedding anniversary
neighbors and friends for miles around
numbering about $50, by pre-arrange-
ment simultaneously gathered at the
Joyce home. The old, middle aged and
young folks enjoyed themselves dane
ing, when Frances Joyce, dressed in
her mothers wedding dress of 25
years ago. Elgie Hoffman was the
groom. In those days dresses were
worn longer than at the present time.
Frances is kind of lovely girl, just
budding into young womanhood. To
know her is to love here.
AT IL o'clock the ladies became busy
and filled the dining room tables with
delicious viands. After disposing of
this most bountiful repast the rest of
the hours were spent in pleasant and
social intercourse. Those gathered
contributed sufficient amount for the
purchase of a suitable memento of
the occasion, for which Mrs. Joyce, in
we'll chosen words, thanked their
neighbors and friends which are num-
erous.

homes, after congratulating Mr. and
