Observe 60th Wedding Anniversary "Mr. and Mrs. R.E. Bloodworth celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary Sunday, Sept. 29th, with open house at their home, 4420 Elmwood, Kansas City, Mo. It was a complete surprise to Mrs. Bloodworth on returning home from Sunday school and church to find a house full of relatives and a lovely decorated table centered with a large cake, decorated with bride and groom on top. The cake had been baked by a neighbor. Mrs. Wm. Bloodworth, daughter-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Bloodworth, had arranged the affair with neighbors so that it would be a surprise. Mr. and Mrs. Bloodworth received many cards, gifts, flowers and fruit. The Sunday school class had sent many of the floral bouquets and music was rendered by a member of the Sunday school class. Those from Madison attending the celebration were: Mrs. Kate Galloway, only sister of Mrs. Bloodworth; Mrs. Margaret Quinley; and Mr. and Mrs. Herman Lafferty and son, Joey. Mr. and Mrs. Bloodworth lived near Madison for many years. Their three sons, Dennis, Glenn and William were reared in this community."
