WEDDING ANNIVERSARY - FITZGARRALD

On Saturday, December 8th, a number of the friends and relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Fitzgerald, of Sherman Township, -- about ffifty or more, -- gave them a slight surprise in honor of their Twenty Fifth Wedding Anniversary.

It is hardly necessary to say that a great effort was made to relieve the groaning tables of their burden. All were convinced that is was utterly impracticable.

The afternoon was well nigh spent in social enjoyment when it was announced that a wedding was on hand. Justice Leeper was called upon to perform the ceremony, by which Jerry was exhorted to be a husband, faithful and kind to his wife, and to always keep his wood pile as large in the future as he had in the past; and in return for this his good wife was to burn his wood and cook his fine cabbages for him 'till death do us part.'

The presents were useful, such as a newly married couple need. All went home feeling that the day had been well spent, and wishing Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald the best they knew. LSAW. ~ Newton Journal, December 19, 1888.
