The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, October 12, 1905 MR. and MRS. DAVID WILLIAMS celebrated their golden wedding at Cleveland Sunday, with a large company of their friends and it proved a most happy occasion. A grand feast was one of the features and good cheer, speechmaking and mutual congratulations inspired the day. This worthy couple were married in their native Wales fifty years ago, emigrating to America in 1869 with their family of seven children. They now have a family of seventy-five children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. They represent that courageous class who sought homes from beyond the sea and form the best in our citizenship. Think of the resolution it takes to bid adieu to friends, country and kindred and voyage the ocean to a strange land where is spoken an unknown tongue with customs differing from the usual forms. The Leader joins in the well wishes for the future health and happiness of this fine old couple. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert September 7, 2004 [email protected]
