Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary ~ Mr. and Mrs. Joseph A. Braden
The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, December 14, 1905
Last Sunday was the fiftieth wedding anniversary of MR. and MRS. JOSEPH A. BRADEN, and in commemoration of the event their co-workers in the First Presbyterian Church presented to them a fine leather upholstered rocking chair and a beautiful hand painted picture, the work of MISS ELOISE COPELAND. The gifts were sent on Saturday evening to the home of his son-in-law, HOWARD CULBERTSON, who took them to the BRADEN home Sunday morning. This worthy couple are pioneer residents of Chariton and enjoy the love and regard of all who know them. There are no better citizens in the United States than MR. and MRS. JOS. BRADEN and their innumerable friends trust that they will live to celebrate many more anniversaries and that the closing years of their life will be happy and tranquil.
