"Mr. and Mrs. Alex Woods, Lonaconing, marked their 50th wedding anniversary with a 
family dinner given by their children. It was held at Maplehurst Country Club. The 
former Miss Mary Keating, daughter of the late Thomas P. Keating, Lonaconing, became 
the bride of Mr. Woods, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Terence T. Woods, also of 
Lonaconing, August 3, 1926. The ceremony was solemnized in St. Mary's Catholic Church 
with the late Rev. J. Carroll Moore officiating. Mrs. Margaret Keating Miller was her 
sister's attendant and also was present at the dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Woods are the 
parents of three children, Margaret, at home, Thomas, Lonaconing, and John, who 
resides in College Park. They have three grandchildren. Mr. Woods retired as a freight 
agent for the Western Maryland Railroad in Frostburg in 1967 after nearly 50 years of 
service. The table was centered with a floral arrangement, a gift of the children, 
and a 2 tier cake decorated in gold and white leaves topped with a miniature bride 
and groom which had been on their original wedding cake. A pink rosebud corsage and 
a pink and white boutonniere were presented to the couple."
