Celebrate Golden Wedding Anniversary
An occasion of much interest took place at Hamilton Monday night, December 8, when Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pender celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.
The living and dining rooms were attractively decorated in yellow and white. The centerpiece for the table was a miniature bride and bridegroom dressed in the fashion of 50 years ago.
The guests were met at the door by Mrs. J.B. Purvis and shown upstairs where they were relieved of their wraps. They were then registered by Mrs. P.H. Davenport and shown into the living room where they were received by Mrs. P.F. Myers and made known to the receiving line, which consisted of the bride and bridegroom, the children and grandchildren. After this they were shown into the hall by Mrs. T.B. Slade Jr., where punch was served by Misses Annie Anthony and Helen Davenport. They were then ushered into the dining room where they were received by Mrs. F.L. Gladstone and a delicious course of ice cream, cake, mints and pecans were served by Misses Mary Waldo, Sarah Edmondson and Evelyn and Hallie Lawrence.
There were 120 present, and many messages of congratulations as well as useful gifts were received.
