THE FREMONT COUNTY HERALD. July 26, 1907. "July 22, 1857 - July 22, 1907".--It is seldom that we hear of the golden wedding anniversary, but when we do it brings to us the thought that the two persons whose lives have blended for that number of years have certainly many reasons to be thankkful.

John W. Proctor and Lydia A. Jessup were married in Peoria, Ill., July 22, 1857. Last Monday, July 22, 1907, some thiry of the relatives and near friends of the worthy couple gave them a complete surprise by gathering at their home and helping them celebrate their 50th waedding anniversary. Each one present brought well-filled baskets of good things to eat.

That a royal time was enjoyed by all present goes without saying, and none were happier than Uncle John and his good wife.
