FIFTY YEARS OF MARRIED LIFE

Celebrated by Mr. and Mrs. Gardner Sebring

Dundee, March 2 - Mr. and Mrs. Gardner SEBRING celebrated their fiftieth
wedding anniversary at their home, between this village and the hamlet of
Tyrone. The affair was enjoyable for all of the seventy-two assembled
relatives and lifelong friends who gathered there. Mr. and Mrs. Gardner
received many useful and beautiful presents of linen and china, besides a
number of pieces of gold in commemoration of the day.

The SEBRING family is one of the oldest in this section of the state, and for
more than one hundred years members of the family have been among the most
prominent farmers and citizens of this section. The father of Mr. SEBRING
came to this section from Lodi in the spring of 1810 and settled on the old
homestead farm.

At that time there were but three farm-houses between the farm and the
village of Watkins, ten miles east, and there were also but three houses in
that village at that time. It was on this farm that Mr. SEBRING was born and
where he spent the whole of his life.

February 27, 1861, Mr. SEBRING was married to Miss Nancy HORN, of the town of
Starkey, who is thirteen years his junior, and who, with her husband, is
still hale and hearty. They had only one daughter, who was married to Newton
HOWELL and who died about six years ago. It is a curious fact that in the
families of both Mr. SEBRING and his wife there were four brothers and three
sisters, and they are now the only surviving members of their families.

Rev. M. D. YOUNGS, of the Methodist Church of Tyrone, who was present,
addressed those assembled when the dinner was finished, making a few
appropriate remarks in regard to the two lives that have been spared so long
and that have both been so usefully lived.
