The union of two lives in conjugal relations
for fifty years is
sufficiently impressive, especially in these
days, to justify a
celebration.

MR. S.P. BASS, then a young man something
over 2l years of age, and MISS
LAURA BLOWERS, also a little over 2l years
old, were united in marriage
at Marshall, Oneida Co., N.Y. December l4,
l843, by Elder E.S. Brown.
They removed to Michigan in l848, residing
there until l884, when they
came to Lamoni, Iowa, where they have since
remained. On Thursday of
last week, they gathered all their living
children about them in their
home, together with a host of grandchildren,
making a company of nearly
thirty, and celebrated their golden wedding.
There were present: MR.
B.O. BASS, wife and family, from Wetmore,
Kansas; MRS. ADELIA MUNSEL, of
Maysville, Kansas; MRS. CARTER SCOTT and
children, of Davis City, Iowa;
S.M. BASS and family of Lamoni; COLUMBUS
SCOTT and family of Lamoni;
JAMES BRAYBROOKS and family, of Lamoni.

MR. and MRS. BASS were each presented with a
pair of gold spectacles by
their children.
