Joseph and Margaret Goodman Celebrate 56th Wedding Anniversary, 1933

Goodmans Celebrate 56th Anniversary of Their Marriage” from the Aug. 11, 1933, issue of The Landmark, Statesville, N.C.

Mooresville, Aug. 9—Esquire J.A.B. Goodman is 76 today. He was married 56 years ago today on the day he was 20. There was a quiet birthday dinner and family reunion, August 9, at the Goodman home on North Broad street. Only members of the immediate family were present—Mr. and Mrs. J.A.B. Goodman, Prof. and Mrs. Reuben A. Goodman, Newberry College, S.C., Mr. and Mrs. W. Badger Goodman and Miss Vernie Goodman of Mooresville.

Something like this was published 56 years ago today:

“Joseph A.B. Goodman of Cabarrus county and Miss Margaret O. Lipe, oldest daughter of Mr. Jos. A. and Mrs. Amanda Mills Lipe, were united in marriage on August the ninth, 1877, at the residence of the bride’s parents at Amity Hill by Esq. J. Allanson White, in the presence of a large crowd of relatives and friends. A sumptuous dinner was served to all present.”

And they have been married ever since and never had a death in the family.
