The guests took with them the requisites for an elegant dinner and as a souvenir of the occasion presented to MRS. WILSON a beautiful china cup and saucer. The occasion was a very enjoyable one, and those present as well as a host of other friends trust that this highly esteemed couple will live to be centenarians. EUGENE O. WILSON and ELNORA LARIMER were married in this city on April 20, 1886, and have since resided here. They have two refined and accomplished young daughters and all enjoy the regard of all who know them. They are among the class of people who help to make up a prosperous and respected community and are desirable residents. BRICE PLYMATE, one of the efficient employees in Palmer's Department Store, was the victim of a pleasant surprise last Friday evening, planned by his wife in commemoration of his 23rd birthday. When the guests arrived BRICE was busily engaged, assisting his wife in cutting carpet rags. He was completely surprised but surrendered gracefully and gave the invaders a hearty welcome. Delicious refreshments were served and the evening was spent in an enjoyable manner. BRICE was presented with a fine rocking chair as a slight token of the esteem in which he is held. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert October 10, 2004 [email protected] *Was giving a 'rocking chair' some sort of tradition for different occasions??
