Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 82, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 January 1912 — Married 44 Years. [ARTICLE]

Married 44 Years.

Mr. and Mrs. N. S. Bates were married 44 years ago yesterday, and their * daughter, Mrsi Alice Knox, was married just one year ago. The event was celebrated with a big turkey dinner at which their two daughters, Mrs. W. J. Wright, husband and two children ot Rensselaer, and Mrs. Rufus Knox and husband of Chicago, were in attendance. The occasion was a very pleasant one, and the only regrets were that their son Glen of Oregon and daughter, Mrs. Albert Bouk of Minot, No. Dak., were not here also. Mr. and Mrs. Bates Are among Rensselaer’s most respected citizens, and as both are enjoying very good health we may reasonably expect they will Jive to celebrate their golden wedding six years hence.
