' Mr and Mrs WJ* »“****£ Neligh: Mr. and MrsOydeKirte, Chambers; and Mrs. John Qsiard, Emmet The following poem was recited at the anniversary bangpet: LEON AfTO MUL Listen, my children, and let me tell The story of two people whom you all know well- _ __ Of a girl named Ethel and ner in nran beau. _. .. , T Here’s the way I heard it. and i think it’s so. She lived in Norfolk what they two met; . . . _, . „ She—attractive, talented, and run. I’ll bet; He an ambitious young man from | the wide prairie— Came to Norfolk to school and the city to see. It's a story of love that is real and true. A story that’s old. yet forever new, Of a girl and a hoy and the home they made, How they hoped and planned and worked and prayed. Well, it’s the same old story of girl meets boy, Boy likes girl, but girl is coy. But boy decides she’s the one he wants, And he tells her so on their horse •and buggy jaunts. At last she said ,,Yes”, and they began to plan This young school ma’am and her fine young man. And in the Doughty home the lines were read, The promises made and the vows were said. So on March 17 of 19-O-Nine They two were made one and in the nick of time They escaped to Wamerville where they caught the train And started their life with its sun shine and rain. It wasn’t easy, this life on the plain. They both worked had with might and main. The country was yoang, the con veniences few, And tliey and their neighbors found much to do. There are lots of stories that they can tell. The Vigilantes chased him, riding peO-mell. He managed to escape by his horses’ speed And by tricking the gang, a daring deed. There is one story that she can tell About a pot of beans that began to I swell TUI she filled her kettles and dish-1 pan, too. They had plenty of beans for a week or two. Two sons came to bless their home: Charles and Harvey, now men full grown. Charles, who doctored the dogs when he was small, Now doctors children, the best of all. Charles and Carita, his home-town Have lived near andi far at their country’s call, And with four fine youngsters are doing their share To make a good home and to make life fair. TTie younger son, Harvey, came back here to live With his college sweetheart their strength to give To toe good things of life in the community here Church, school, and their children I dear. Now we’re here together on this beautiful day, A day full of memories, some sad and some gay, A day to honor this man and his wife Who have lived together fifty years of life. Through the years they have given with unselfish love To their community, their church and God above Of talents and time and neighborly deeds To minister to others and their needs. So—here’s wishing you well, dear father and mother. Good neighbors, good friends, sister and brother. May God bless you and keep you, each one and t’other And while we are absent, one from the other.
