MARTIN, J. C.
(27 Mar 1924, Sayre Journal, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
One of the prettiest social affairs of the season was the reception given
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Martin, on Monday afternoon from
two-thirty until five-thirty and from seven-thirty until ten in
celebration of their fiftieth wedding anniversary.  Receiving with Mr. and
Mrs. Martin were their children, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Martin of Mayfield; Mr.
and Mrs. O. H. Martin of Sayre; Mr. and Mrs. Van Meter of Abdigon, Ill.; a
sister of Mrs. Martin; S. E. Russell of Foss and H. A. Russell of Sayre,
brothers of Mrs. Martin and H. K. Martin of Macomb, Ill, a brother of Mr.
Martin.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin were guests of honor at a dinner given by their
relatives at the basement of the Christian church at noon at which about
forty-five guests were present.
During the receiving hours more than one hundred twenty-five guests called
to extend congratulations upon the celebration of the happy occasion.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin are among the pioneer settlers of Beckham county
having come to Sayre sixteen years ago, from West Liberty, Iowa.  Mr.
Martin was engaged in the drug business here for a number of years and
after disposing of his drug business, he served two terms as court clerk
of Beckham county.  He and Mrs. Martin are active members of the Christian
church and are always to be found identified with any movement for the
better of the community.  Two sons, Gail, who lives in Schiller Park, Ill,
and Clyde, a resident of Davenport, Iowa, were unable to be present as
were the daughter and little granddaughter, Mrs. F. E. Chappell and
Margaret and Mrs. Everett Hartpence and children, grand children and great
grand children of Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Their popularity with their friends was attested by the large number of
letters and telegrams received yesterday and the numerous floral offerings
conveying a golden message of good wishes for many happy returns of the
anniversary.
