NICHOLS, ORSON & WIFE (50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY):
(3 Feb 1909, Elk City Record, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
The celebration of the 50th anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs.
Orson Nichols took place at the Christian church last Friday night.  The
house was nearly filled with invited guests and relatives.  Rev. Wolfe
pronounced them man and wife for another 50 years, congratulations were
received by the youthful looking groom and bride.  Hearty in deed were the
hand shakes and congratulations of their friends.  Dainty refreshments
were served.  Slices of ice cream in the shape of hearts were certainly
appropriate for the occasion while the contents of the punch bowl seemed
to touch the right spot.  The little bow of golden colored baby ribbon
pinned on each guest as a souvenir of the occasion was also appropriate. 
Mr. and Mrs. Nichols were the recipitants (sic) of  many presents in gold,
from friends and relatives, forks, vases, clock, mirror, gold handled
umberella (sic), brooches, cuff buttons, and best of all, the real coin of
the land, in all over $100, $30 of which was from the Masons and $50 from
their children, Fred Nichols and wife of Elk City, Mr. and Mrs. Luther of
Chicago, Chas. Hocker of Purcell and Dr. Roland of Eakely were the outside
guests present.  (Custer County Republican)
