Surprise Picnic May 25, 1924, Honors Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Houston's Birthdays

Picnic at the Home of Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Houston

On Sunday, May 25th, a most enjoyable picnic was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Houston in honor of their 77th birthday.

Mr. and Mrs. Houston were gladly surprised Sunday morning when their children began gathering at the old home with well-filled baskets. Their children were all present except one son. A delicious dinner was spread under the spreading branches of the old maple tree near the Houston spring. There were 65 present.

Everybody enjoyed the day and were all sorry when time came for us to go home. All joined in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Houston many more happy birthdays.
