This suspicious event transpired on Saturday last, June 3, 1911 and was fittingly celebrated at Odd Fellows hall, where a large gathering of old-time friends assembled to honor the occasion, in response to invitation. At the appointed hour, the guests drew nigh to the place designated for the entertainment and soon the spacious hall was filled to its capacity by old and young, all eager to pay a tribute of respect to the aged couple whom they had leared to honor and admire. While invitations had been sent out for many more, there were one hundred and twenty fife guests seated at the banquet board, and highly complimented the spread and the occasion as a whole. All appeared to enjoy the event mo9st thoroughly and upon repairing to their homes expressed themselves as having passed a most delightful evening; and highly congratulated the guests of honor, who, notwithstanding their age, were still seventy years young, and have entered upon the second fifty years of married live hale and hearty. One pleasing feature of the evening was the mock wedding cememony performed by Bishop James Brown, who asked the groom if he would take the bride for his wedded wife the balance of their lives, the question being answered in the affirmative, but upon condition provided his better-half would let him retain what little hair he had left. The bride would accept Mr. Ewer provided he would make as good husband in the future as in the past. At this point they were united to continue uon the journey of their life together, with the sincere wish that they might livie to celebrate many more happy wedding days. The hall was appropriately decorated for the occasion, with yellow and white and numerous beautiful potted plants were also in evidence. |

One of the most pleasing features of the evening was the fact that great many pioneers of our city attended the event, and nothing proved more satisfying to Mr. and Mrs. Ewer tha to see many old-time friends indulge in the dance of fifty-tree years ago.
