GOLDEN WEDDING 

Asa D Pattee and Hannah Pattee are to be married at G.A.R. Hall Saturday eve 
September 24. They are not so young and giddy as they were but the affection of 
Asa and Hannah though milder is stronger than fifty years ago – that is when 
they were married the first time. This is the celebration of their Golden 
Wedding, fifty years since they were wed at Fairfield, Illinois.

Their little home is too small to entertain their friends and so the happy 
event will occur at the G.A.R. Hall. Of course their friends are invited and 
expected and it is gladness, good will and rejoicing, not presents.

A GOLDEN WEDDING 

Saturday, September 24, was celebrated the fiftieth anniversary or Golden 
Wedding of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Pattee, two excellent people with a wide 
acquaintance and friendships equally extended. Their own cottage was far too 
small to accommodate the celebrants and so the company, composed of members of 
Wallace Post G.A.R. and the W. R. C. repaired to the Hall, 50 or 60 happy 
people intent on recalling the truly happy union of Mr. and Mrs. Pattee. 
Justice Avery after he had the consent of the ‘guardian” of 16 year and Hannah 
Elliot, with appropriate words renewed the vows and union of the twain mid much 
good humored raillery and congratulations. The G. A. R. presented the “groom” 
with a handsome gold watch chain, the W. R. C. made the “bride” happy by a gold 
neck chain for her watch. Then refreshments of cake and coffee were served and 
the company, joyful that It had retouched the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Pattee 
with youth, dispersed. It is rare that husband and wire are so blest as to live 
50 years together. Between death and the divorce court the great majority are 
separated long before the half century can be observed, therefore these old-
young people are especially to be congratulated.
