  Eightieth Birthday Celebration
  
  On Sunday last a surprise celebration of the eightieth birthday of Mrs. Martha 
  Singleton was held at her old homestead, near New Egypt, at which were present 
  four generations, the whole company numbering twenty-two persons.
  
  Mrs. Singleton, who has for an extended period been almost helpless owing to 
  bodily infirmity was most pleasantly surprised, when about 2 p.m. there 
  arrived wagons containing those who were bent upon making the occasion one 
  that would leave pleasant memories, having brought with them a generous 
  quantity of ice cream, cakes, etc.
  
  The pleasantries of the day will be long remembered by those who composed the 
  gathering, which included Mr. and Mrs. William Huggins and their daughters 
  Reba and Jennie, Mr. and Mrs. William Horner, Mrs. Search, son Oscar and 
  daughter May, Mrs. Harris and daughter Mary, Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Shinn and their 
  sons Willie and Alfred, Mr. and Mrs. Harley Hankins, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey 
  Horner and son Stanley, Charles and Caleb Horner.
  
  Each one spent a most enjoyable afternoon, particular attention being bestowed 
  upon Mrs. Singleton, who managed to be at the table by the assistance rendered 
  to her, along with the others, to enjoy the plenteous supply of good things, 
  as she has had continued to her faculties that enable her to enjoy a passing 
  pleasure. On returning to their respective homes the company each bade aged 
  Mrs. Singleton a hearty adieu.
