Silver Wedding
The 25th anniversary of the marriage of Albert Hayden to Julia Clement was celebrated by the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Hayden at their beautiful farm residence January 26, 1897. The visitors were quite numerous and all enjoyed the happy occasion to the fullest extent. We trust the bride and groom will enjoy the returns of many such happy meetings. The presents were many and useful, and are as follows:
Silver sugar bowl, creamer and spoon holder, Mr. and Mrs. H.N. Clement and H.L. Clement.
Pickle fork, Mr. and Mrs. G.L. Trump.
Four silver dollars, Mr. and Mrs. John Buckley.
