Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 59, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 March 1899 — Married 28 Years. [ARTICLE]

Married 28 Years.

Rev. and Mrs. H. M. Middleton were married 28 years ago last Thursday, in Ross county, Ohio, and the weather was so fine that the wedding dinner was eaten out on the porch. Here, last Thursday, by way of contrast, the weather was so bad that anyone but a case-hardened hobo would have gone hungry all day, rather than have tried to eat ont of doors. This same last Thursday was also Mr. Middleton’s birthday he having been fifty years old that day. He got into matrimony before he did into the ministry, it being 27 years next fall since the conference first licensed him topreach; and as it happened his first appointment was our neighboring town of Monon. He was there two years and during the time, conducted a revival meeting in this eounty, in Hanging Grove Tp. Thus after 27 years of labor in the vineyard, he has got nearly back to the locality where he first started.
