  were much devoted to each other and were permitted to enjoy each others
  companionship as husband and wife for nearly 52 years.  On the fiftieth
  anniversary of their marriage, March 22, 1942, their numerous friends gave
  them a great and pleasing surprise in the form of greeting cards and many
  gifts of various kinds, including money.  It was one of the outstanding
  happy days of their lives, and greatly deserved.
