Family Celebrates Golden Wedding of Parents with Banquet and Merrymaking

     The family of Charles A. Rose, well known filling station proprietor,
held a reunion of children and grandchildren at the family home on East Main
Street this week.  As this was the first time they had all been at home since
they began to leave the family roof-tree, they took advantage of the reunion
to celebrate the Golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Rose which will accur(sic) on
Dec. 19, next.
     To mark the affair a family banquet was held at the St. James Hotel on
Wednesday. They entered the dining room in procession, to the tune of "Here
comes the bride," led by the bride and groom of 50 years ago, followed by all
the children and grandchildren, to the number of 27, who formed a bridal
wreath of Roses around the table.
     The bridegroom made a delightful introductory speech, and during the
dinner there was a chorus singing by the family.  Later they returned to the
home on East Main Street and the afternoon was spent in cards and in an
excursion to the lake. The oldest grandchild in the Rose bouquet is twenty,
and the youngest is a bud of three weeks.
