the occasion of the celebration of the
golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. S. W.
Plaster, Tuesday afternoon at their residence,
a few miles from town, Notwithstanding
the busy times in harvest and
threshing, nearly every family in the
neighborhood, and many from Cheney,
found time to assist the venerable couple
in their joyous celebration.

The “golden ceremony” on this occasion
was performed by Rev. R. H. Manier,
who, in imitation of the event half a
century ago, caused the groom to “pop
the question” and ‘seal’ the contract as
he did at that time. At the close of the
ceremony the guests crowded about to
extend their congratulations and well
wishes. An elaborate dinner was served,
The post-prandial part was enlivened by
speeches and experiences, principal of
which were those of Mr. and Mrs. Plaster,
who told of the many important events of
their long wedded life. The aged couple
were given many presents by their affectionate
friends, including $40 in gold.
