Fifty years ago Mr. and Mrs. Walter Richmond of Armstrong risked the dangers of fording a raging, spring swollen stream with a horse and buggy so Mr. Richmond, a shy young man in his 20's wouldn't have to face the ordeal of a home wedding.
But times change in 50 years and hundreds of Mr. and Mrs. Richmond's friends and relatives gathered with them Sunday in the Armstrong Methodist church to honor them on their 50th Wedding anniversary.
On March 31, 1897, Mr. and Mrs. Richmond made the long wedding trip to Estherville by horse and buggy and the journey was not without mishap. In fording the swollen stream near Tuttle lake the buggy in which they were riding narrowly escaped being upset by the torrential current and it was only Mr. Richmond's skill at handling the horse and buggy that prevented his then bride-to-be from being swept out of the buggy seat...As it was their wedding luggage was found to be far from water proof and when they reached Estherville it was necessary for them to get their wedding clothes pressed before the ceremony.
Late that day they were married in the Presbyterian manse here by a Rev. Evans and next day made the long trip back to Armstrong. This time the Richmonds were not in such a hurry and drove a little farther to cross the stream on a bridge. But all this inconvenience was done so that then bashful Mr. Richmond might escape the terrors of a home wedding.
A reception was held both Sunday afternoon and evening to honor the couple with an appropriate program. Highlighting the program in the afternoon was a talk "The Passing Parade," by Supt. W. A. Ortmeyer of Armstrong schools and at night another talk "Memories of a Family Physician" was given by Dr. J. B. Knipe.
Other program numbers were the same for both receptions. Jean Tostenrud, accompanied by Mrs. Arnold Wilson, sang an anniversary song followed by "Memories of an Old Friend" written by Mrs. Martin Anderberg and read by T. E. Hayworth, who presided at the reception programs.
Mrs. Bert Bosworth sang "Silver Threads Among the Gold" and "Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet" and Mrs. Clifford Henricksen, accompanied by Mrs. C. Smith, "Sweetest Story Ever Told". The Rev. R. A. Grigsby gave a short talk, "Reveries."
The Richmonds have lived in the Armstrong vicinity virtually all of their lives. Mr. Richmond was born in a log cabin on his father's homestead in Armstrong Grove township and Mrs. Richmond, born in Eau Claire, Wis. came with her parents to Emmet county in a covered wagon when just a girl, locating in Iowa Lake township.
Mrs. Richmond attended Fairmont high school and attended State normal college at LeMars. She taught in rural schools in Minnesota and Emmet county previous to her marriage. Her maiden name was Grace Clark.
Mr. Richmond completed school work offered in distributed schools and then attended normal school at Algona. He taught briefly but found that his heart wasn't in becoming a pedagogue. He next clerked in a clothing store in Estherville and later entered into partnership in a general store in Armstrong. However he soon found his way back to the farm going to his father's place southeast of Armstrong.
The Richmonds have three sons, Wallace, Wayne and Wilbert, and 10 grandchildren-Robert, Grace Eleanor and Margaret, children of Wallace; Donald, Barbara and Delores, children of Wayne; and Joan, Jean, Jack and James, children of Wilbert. All joined with them in the anniversary celebration.
