"FIFTY YEARS"
For fifty years Charlie and Gene have
marched down the road called
life;
He as a benevolent husband. she as n
dutiful wife.
They have shared their trlsls and their
joys.
Raised four dptiful girls and boys.
Made them home an spick and span.
In short done all that Is allotted 10
man.
We know the way has been sometimes
weary and long.
But through It all there has been much
sunshine and song;
At least as a casual observer you see
! have a faint idea OF what life ought
to be.
And as an observer and from what

Made your home headquarters for the
girls and boys.
You have been permitted to see more
changes in your day.

Life has been made much easier for |
yours and mine TO live.
Than we had ever hoped or thought |

your good wife.
There is nothing to prevent them haY |

To all who travel this road of life and
help others along the way.
For you have helped us and shown us
the way to live.
BY always being ready to help and give. |
What more can we say but to wish you /
the best life has to give.
With peace and conteLtment as long as
you live
From what can see. you and your
charming wife
Have just began TO live the thing We
Fifty years from tonight we will. il the /
Lord wills.
BE here to greet you and bring all tho /
God bless you and keep you all the
days Of your life,
Is the prayer Of your neighbors for you
and your wife.
