Celebrate Golden Wedding.

Mr -.and Mrs. E. Pitzer drove up in Walker tp;, Sunday to attend the golden wedding anniversary of the latter’s grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Joel F. Spriggs. Mr. and Mrs. Spriggs are 76 and 71 years, respectively, and are probably the oldest residents of Walker tp., having located there in an early day. They received many presents commemorative of the occasion, and a fine big dinner was served. Others present. in addition to Mr. and Mrs. Pitzer and baby, were: Simon Spriggs and family of Medaryville; David Spriggs and family of WaiKer tp.; Mrs. Holser of Foresman—-the three children of the aged couple; Mrs. Olive Spriggs and son of Demotte; Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Hershman, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hershman of Walker tp., Mr. and Mrs. Long, Mr. and Mrs. Sanders of Medaryville, and Prof. Phillips of Wanatah. “Squire” Spriggs and wife are among Walker township’s most highly respected citizens, and we hope they may both live to celebrate their diamond wedding twenty-five years hence.
