WED FOR FIFTY YEARS
Celebration

Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Bucklin of Rhodes
Given a Most Happy Golden Wedding

Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Bucklin were given a happy surprise Tuesday, Jan. 22, at their home at Rhodes, in honor of their golden wedding, which came on that day, when twenty relatives from Mingo and Baxter came to spend the day. A bounteous dinner brought by the guests was served and most everything that one could wish for was on the table, including several large wedding cakes which had been sent to the couple from relatives away. Those present were Mrs. Sarah Miller and two children, Mr. and Mrs. Merle `Varner and two children, Mr. and Mrs. George Swallwell and three children, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Miller and two children, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bucklin and Mrs. Tom Kennedy. In the afternoon they were again given a surprise when a delegation from the Methodist Protestant church, of which Mr. and Mrs. Bucklin have been members for many years, went in to extend their best wishes. Those present were Rev, and Mrs. Eugene Parrott, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Davis, Mesdames Charles Hildreth, C. F. Dewey, E. V. Snowgren, William Steiner, Ollie Luttekin, Sarah Freland, C. O. Sween and George Chamberlain, and Misses Hannah Fox and Mary Robinson. They presented Mr. and Mrs. Bucklin with a $5 gold piece, a beautiful bouquet of flowers and several other gifts. A nice lunch was served by Mesdames E. V. Snowgren and C. O. Sween. Mr. and Mrs. Bucklin also received many cards and other gifts from relatives and friends, and their golden wedding day, altho planned as being just the same as any other day, proved to be one that will long be remembered by the highly esteemed couple. ~ The Baxter (Iowa) New Era, January 31, 1929
