THEIR 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Mr. and Mrs John T. Jackson Were Married Half Century Ago Last Saturday
        The golden wedding anniversary of Mr and Mrs John T. Jackson was
celebrated at their home in this village Saturday with many relatives and
friends attending.
        John Jackson and Miss Edith Dilley were married at the home of the bride's
parents, Mr and Mrs Jonas Dilley in Oneida and attendants were the Misses
Nellie and Edith Miller as bridesmaids and the best men were Irwin Dilley
and Bert Jackson. The ceremony was read by Rev. Clayton of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. Mr and Mrs Jackson made their home in Roxand until 18
years ago, since that time they have lived in Sunfield village.
        The Misses Etheleen Jackson and Reva June VanHouten furnished music and a
reading by Mrs Sue Jackson Bishop were much enjoyed.
Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served to the guests by Mrs Mable
Stryker, Mrs Bessie Jackson, Mrs Goldia Jackson and Elaine Squires.
        Mr and Mrs Jackson have one daughter, Mrs Mable Stryker of Roxand; two
sons, Charlie of Roxand and Frank of Sunfield: 10 grandchildren and three
great grandchildren.
        Guests were present from Dearborn, Battle Creek, Nashville, Lansing, Grand

        Many lovely gifts were received by the happy couple. Some were sent from
New York City, New Mexico, North Dakota and Chicago.

company with hearty congratulations.
