APPLETON COUPLE MARRIED 53 YEARS
Mr. and Mrs. James Wing Surprised with Party in Honor of Anniversary

About thirty friends and relatives pleasantly surprised Mr. and Mrs. James
Wing on their fifty-third wedding anniversary at the home of their grand-
daughter, Mrs. William Storm, Clark Street, New Year's evening.

Mr. and Mrs. Wing were married in the town of Calumet and their wedding was in
a baggy, the usual mode of travel in those days. Mrs. Wing was formerly Miss
Priscilla Blount.

Mr. Wing enlisted in the 17 Reg. Wisconsin Volunteers, and was on Sherman's
famous march to the sea, and served until the end of the Civil War and was at
the Grand Review at Washington.

They are both enjoying very good health for their years, and enjoy the society
of young people as much as in former years. Two daughters, Mrs. John McCarter
and Mrs. Norman Ovitt reside in Appleton. Their three sons, Rufus, Herbert and
Harvey and a daughter live in the west. The out of town guests were Mrs.
Herbert Wing and daughter Ruth of Omaha, Neb., and Mrs. Ratzenberg of
Wrightstown.
