Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Peed Celebrate Their 50th Anniversary

The home of Mr. and Mrs. L.T. Peed, near Union Church, in this county, was the
scene of an unusually happy occasion yesterday when the former’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. A.B. Peed, celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary.

Fifty years ago Mr. Aplin B. Peed and Miss Delucia McNair both of Marion County,
were united in marriage.  During all of these years Providence has smiled
abundantly upon them, not so much in this world’s goods, though of this they
have had a sufficiency, but in health, in congenial and happy association and in
the rearing of a number of fine sons and daughters, all of whom like themselves
devout Christians, and are making the world brighter, richer and more noble by
their living in it.  They have raised three sons and two daughters as follows:
J.R. Peed, of Montezuma, L.T. and L.A. Peed, of this county, Mrs. R.H. Bohler,
of Marshalville and Mrs. M.R. Foy,of this county.  All of these are now living,
who with their children were present on this exceedingly happy occasion.  The
number of grandchildren present was 34, while there were also 8
great-grandchildren.

A sumptuous dinner was served on a long table that groaned under its load,
arranged under the oaks in front of the home.  These excellently prepared
refreshments were greatly relished by the kinspeople, friends and many
neighbors, who were invited to share the pleasure of the day.

After dinner Rev. M.T. Gaultney assembled the guests, with Mr. and Mrs. Peed,
their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren in the center of the
circle, and paid a lofty tribute to the lives of the honorees of the occasion. 
He was followed by Mr. Frank Foy, Rev. L.A. Harrell and others.  All of these
were touching, and the shouts that have been so often heard around old Union
Church were revived.  Songs appropriate to the occasion and favorites of Mr. and
Mrs. Peed were sung, nearly everyone present joining in the singing.

Mr. and Mrs. Peed are among the truest citizens in the county to their religious
and other convictions against whom perhaps naught has ever been said.  They have
contributed in a large way to high moral and religious standing of the community
in which the greater part of the fifty years of their life have been spent.  Mr.
Peed and his noble companion have been the recipients of many hearty
congratulations upon the occasion of the anniversary of their wedding.

Upon Mr. and Mrs. L.T. Peed, who provided for and so hospitably entertained
their guests on this occasion, showers of congratulations and thanks have also
fallen.

Mr. and Mrs. Peed received many valuable gifts which in a very small way
expressed the admiration and esteem of each donor.

Those present from a distance were: J.R. Peed and family, of Montezuma; R.H.
Bohler and family, of Marshallville; F.G. Peed and daughter, of Winchester; F.R.
Peed and wife, of Montezuma; W.A. Bartlett, of Marshallville; Mr. and Mrs. I.W.
Garrett, of Charing, the former being present at the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Peed.
