From a Norwich, N.Y. newspaper, from my Grandmother's scrapbook, dated Feb.
22, 1935:

Couple honored on 58th Anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. McNITT receive
Congratulations of Friends.
 
Mr. and Mrs. George W. McNitt of 47 Fair St., were pleasantly surprised
Thursday evening when 28 friends and relatives gathered at the McNitt home to
celebrate the couple's 58th wedding anniversary. The evening was greatly
enjoyed by all who attended. Several played cards, while others spent the
evening talking over "old times." A delightful lunch was served, after which
the entire company of friends extended congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. McNitt
on their anniversary.

Mr. McNitt will be 82 years of age on July 1st, while Mrs. McNitt was 80 last
December 18th. Eliza HOLCOMB and George W. McNITT were united in marriage by
the Rev. Ward, pastor of the Oxford Baptist Church, February 21st, 1877. The
ceremony occurred at the Holcomb homestead at Webbs Corner, near Lyon Brook.

Out of Town relatives who attended the anniversary party Thursday night
included Dr. Harold W. McNitt, Miss Ruth McNitt and Mrs. John Fern, all of
whom motored to Norwich from Binghamton.
