        KENTWOOD COUPLE TO CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING SUNDAY, NOV.14
   
   Fifty years ago November 15th, Miss Theresa Kent, daughter of
George Kent and Dean Amacker Kent of Kentwood and Samuel Lewis
Broyles of Perryville, Kentucky, were united in holy wedlock.
   On Sunday, November 14th, this pair of sweethearts, devoted 
now as they were on that November day a half century ago, will 
receive the congratulations of children, relatives and friends at
their home in Kentwood.  There will be thirty-three or more 
gathered around the dining table for a dinner party at noon and
from 3 to 5 in the afternoon there will be "open house" so that 
all friends of this venerable old couple may drop by to extend
their best wishes to them.
   Mr. and Mrs. Broyles have resided in Kentwood for about 40 
years, having spent the first ten years of their married life in
Kentucky where the former was born and reared.  At the time of
their marriage the bride was only 17 years of age and the groom
just 24.  Their marriage has been an ideal one and to this union
was born nine daughters and three sons.
   When they celebrate their golden wedding anniversary Sunday,
they will have all of their children with them, namely:  Mrs. 
John Shoemake of Kentwood, Mrs. John E. Guess of Hammond, Mrs.
Otto Hervig of Laurel, Miss, Mrs. Elmer Rubush of Jackson, Miss.,
Mrs. Clara Holbrook of Hammond, Mrs. George C. Neelis, Jr. of
Hammond, Miss Helen Broyles of Kentwood, Mrs. Alvin Marmillion
of Hammond, Mrs. S. E. Dean of Osyka, Miss., J. H. Broyles and
Frederick Broyles of Kentwood and W. G. Broyles of Baton Rouge.
There will also be 14 grandchildren present and two great-
grandchildren, John Raines Myrick, Jr. of Natchitoches and Bill
Rush Moseby of Meridian, Miss.
   We join their host of friends throughout this section of the
state in wishing them many more years of health and happiness.
