TWENTY-FIFTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

On Tuesday, May 9, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Daugherty celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding at their home in Barkley tp. It was an ideal day, just such a day as they. had twenty-five years ago in the Sunflower state where they were married at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ethen Dern. This state being their native state and also of five of their seven children, it seemed very appropriate to celebrate in old Hoosieirdom. Mr. Daugherty’s parents Mr. and Mrs. Geo. P. Daugherty, and all his brothers and sister and their families, except one, Mrs. Paris Daugherty of Wyoming, were present together with several old friends and neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sylvester of Flora, Ind.; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gregg of Rockfield, Ind.; and Mrs. Allen Tritle of Cutler, Ind., came Monday and remained until Wednesday. A dinner was served at noon. Mr. and Mrs. Daugherty took their position at the table opposite the minister and his wife, as they did twenty-five years ago, and the guests to the number of twenty stood around the tables while a short and touching prayer was given by Rev. Kuonen. pastor of the Barkley M. E. church. Forty were served, and a very pleasant time was reported by all. As they took their departure they left their hosts with many beautiful silver presents, which Mr. and Mrs. Daugherty will keep a life-time as loving gifts from their many relatives and friends. xx
