GOLDEN WEDDING. Immense Throng Gather to do Honor to Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Hepler of Fairmount City on the Fiftieth Anniversary of their Marriage. One of the pleasantest events we have ever had the pleasure of attending was the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Hepler at their beautiful home on Maple St., Fairmount City, Pa., on Tuesday of this week. The day was pleasant, and friends and neighbors to the number of almost two hundred gathered to do honor to this aged and respected couple. Owing to the large crowd present, the dinner and literary exercises were held in Lace's Hall. Dinner was served promptly at 12 m. There were six tables full in all, and by the time everybody was served it was 2 o'clock. The literary exercises then began by a graphophone recital of the 23d Psalm and the Lord's Prayer. Dr. A. J. Hepler acted as toast master, and introduced in the order named, S. C. Hepler of the Leader, Rev. J. M. Evans, of the Reformed church, and Mr. Allen Space, all of whom delighted the audience by appropriate addresses. Excellent music by a selected choir under the direction of Mr. P. C. Miller was rendered. The literary exercises closed by all s___ing the long metor doxology and receiving the benediction, Rev. Evans pronouncing the same. All present then adjourned to the house where Mr. C. M. Elgin took a picture of the group. Mr. Hepler is a son of Adam Hepler who was a son of John and Elizabeth Shoop Hepler who came from Center Co. in 1803 and settled where the Cherry Run camp ground now is.
