  Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Wright of R. D. 1, Juniata gap, are celebrating

  The couple was united in marriage Aug. 11, 1898, at Alexandria, Pa.,

health.
  Mr. Wright retired in 1940 as an inspector in the Juniata shops of the

was an employe of the Altoona & Logan Valley Electric Railway company.
  Mrs. Wright is the former Mary Eliza Isenberg, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
George W. Isenberg of Altoona, both deceased. Mr. Isenberg was a well known 
Eleventh avenue merchant.
  Although in a retired status, Mr. Wright is active in fraternal circles, 
holding membership in Logan lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, and the 
Harrisburg consistory. Mrs. Wright is a member of the Order of Eastern Star. 
Both are members of Christ Evangelical and Reformed church.
  The couple has three sons and a daughter, all of whom were educated in the 
city schools and, who, with their wives and husbands, are helping to make 
the anniversary observance complete with their presence.
  They include: Mrs. Emma W. Snyder of Huntingdon, George H. Wright of 
Hollidaysburg, an employe of the Pennsylvania railroad; Frank Wright, jr., 
of Philadelphia, court reporter for the court of common pleas, and Harry G.
