Marrid So Vars

F1Ily -plSllI ScdIo ooO tobcJ' %hi'S
George LittIefeld of Gardiner be-
came the bride of Samuel Parker
Durrall, the ceremony occurred in
Show negan at the home of Mr. Dur
rells parents, Alkana and Susan
Parker Durrell, and Mr.. Durrells
sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs
Simeon Sawyer who last week OBJ
served their 60th wedding anniver-
sary were the best man and brides
maid. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. N. J. Wheeler, pastor of
the First Baptist church, in the
presence of large number Of rela-
tives and friends, only very few
of whom are now living. Among
those who are now living who wit
messed the ceremony besides Mr.. and
Mrs. Sawyer is Llewellyn Goodwin.
Mrs. Durrell, who was born In
1S49, was the daughter of Robert and
Eliza Brann Littlefield of Gardiner
and first came to Skowhegan in 1866
to visit her sister and husbandsT Mr.
and Mrs. Wallace Nash and the oc-
casion of this visit was especially to
see her little nephew Will Nash,
who is now located in California and
last summer was east and came to
Skowhegan to visit his uncle and
aunt. On this visit to Skowhegan
Mrs. Durrell, then. Miss Littlefield,
met Mr.. Durrell and the romance
which eliminated in their marriage
two years later began.
Mr.. and Mrs. Durrell reside on
Baptist Hill in the house which has
been their home for more than so
years and although Mrs. Durrell's
sight Is much impaired and Mr.. Dur
rell has been confined to a wheel
chair for the past year. much of the
joys of life are theirs.
g Their three sons, G. Edward Dur
rell of Madison avenue, Howard Dur
rell, assistant postmaster, who also
resides on Baptist Hill, and Forrest
Durrell who lives with his parents,
are most devoted in their attentions
to their parents, and they are great
ly beloved by many friends, who be-
stow many acts Of love and kindness
upon them. On Christmas, Mr.. Dur
rell received a beautiful bouquet
from De Molay Commandery, and
: Mrs. Durrell lovely flowers from the
First Philathea class of the Federat-
ed church.
Their oldest child, daughter.
Nellie Durrell, who was born in
1869, was married on November to
Levi C. Weld of Skowhegan, and died
the following June. Mr.. Weld now
resides in South Portland and one of
the pleasures of this Christmas time
for Mr.. and Mrs. Durrell was a re-
membrance from Mr.. Weld. Mr..
Durrell is member. of the Russell
Post of the Grand Army having been
a veteran of the Civil war. For
many years he was in care Of the
First Baptist church property.
Mrs. Durrell was one of three
daughters. A sister. Mrs. S. c..
Simpson Of Gardiner, passed away
a few years ago and the other sis
ter, Mrs. Dele Nash, resides in Gar
diner during the summers and Is az
usual passing the winter with her
daughter and husband, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. Arthur Watson in Maiden, Mass
8 Because of frail health there will
be no celebration Of this happy ami
versary but many gifts and greetings
will be sent to Mr.. and Mrs. Durrell
today to show love and best wishes
OF many friends.
