MR. and MRS. JAMES E. HARRIS, of Van Wert, celebrated that rare event, their golden wedding anniversary at their home on Sunday, March 8th, a number of relatives and friends gathered to spend the day with them, and a sumptuous dinner was served, to which everyone did ample justice. The afternoon was spent with music, songs and a social good time which was enjoyed by all. MR. and MRS. HARRIS were the recipients of a number of beautiful presents and a gold piece besides. MR. and MRS. HARRIS have been residents of Iowa for over forty-five years with the exception of a few years spent in Kansas. For the past eight years they have resided at Van Wert, and are in fairly good health with good prospects to enjoy a number of years more together. Ten children have been born to them, five of whom are living, FRANK HARRIS, of California; MRS. CORA KELLEY, of Oak Park, Des Moines; MRS. MINNIE STONE, of near Leon; MRS. EFFIE JONES, of near Decatur; and CHARLES HERMAN HARRIS, of Chanute, Kansas.
The guests departed at a late hour in the evening, with the wish that MR. and MRS. HARRIS may be spared to enjoy many more wedding anniversaries.
