  RURAL DAYTONITES GREETED ON GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY

  Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hollenbaugh of Dayton R.D. 1 entertained at a dinner for 150
  relatives and friends in observance of their fiftieth wedding anniversary. ÊThe
  dinner was held in the academy of the Glade Run Presbyterian church, Dayton.
  ÊThe honor table was decorated with yellow candles, yellow flowers, and was
  centered with a four-tier wedding cake that had a topping of a gold wreath,
  inscribed 'Golden Wedding'. ÊOther tables were decorated with yellow candles
  and flowers.
  During the afternoon and evening hours, many additional guests were received.
  ÊThe late Rev. George W. McIntyre, D.D., united in marriage Miss Maude Beatty
  and Frank Hollenbaugh on September 22, 1898, in the parsonage of the Glade Run
  church.
  Mr. and Mrs. Hollenbaugh have resided on a farm near Dayton during most of

  ÊThe seven daughters are Mrs. Oscar Beatty of Vandergrift, Mrs. Beulah
  Rosenberger of Kittanning, Mrs. John Neal of Dayton, Mrs. Charles Preslipski of
  Vandergrift, Mrs. Frank Northrup of Conneaut, Ohio, Mrs. Lewis Walker of Dayton,
  and Margaret Hollenbaugh of Vandergrift. ÊThe Hollenbaughs also have 18
  grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
  For the anniversary occasion, the bride-of-fifty years chose a green dress and
  black accessories. ÊShe complemented her frock with a corsage of yellow roses,
  tied with gold ribbon. ÊThe couple was presented with many lovely gifts.
  On Saturday evening, September 25, Mr. and Mrs. Hollenbaugh were guests at a
  family dinner given in their honor, with covers laid for 42 guests. Included on
  the guest list were Rev. Thoburn Stull, present pastor of the Glade Run church,
  and Mrs. Stull, the Hollenbaugh's eight children, 14 grandchildren and five

  yellow and white place card favors and two triple-tiered wedding cakes. ÊOne
  was topped with a miniature bride and groom and the other with a white satin
  bow trimmed in gold sequins spelling out 50 years. ÊOne cake was baked by a
  granddaughter, Mrs. Theodore Trudgeon of Kittanning. ÊMrs. Hollenbaugh wore a
  corsage of yellow pompons, tied with gold ribbon. ÊHer seven daughters, also
