ATTENDED 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF PARENTS’ WEDDING

Mr. and Mrs. Carl Somers and children returned Sunday afternoon from Otterbein where they had been visiting with relatives, and where they attended the fiftieth wedding anniversary of Mrs. Somers’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Rowen, on Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Rowen have been residents of Otterbein for the past forty-seven years, having located there three years after their marriage occurred. The event was celebrated in a very pleasing and entertaining manner and was attended by a great number of relatives and friends. The wedding ceremony of fifty years ago was repeated and was the most enjoyable feature of a day filled with pleasure. The aged couple are in very good health and their many friends hope that they will be able to celebrate many more such anniversaries. Mr. and Mrs: Somers remained until Sunday that they might enjoy a visit with a brother of Mrs. Somers whom they had not seen for fifteen years and a sister whom they had not seen for nine years. A clue is something a detective finds when he can’t find the criminal.—Greenville (S. C.) Piedmont.
