From Tuesday's Daily.
Last evening at the pleasant home
of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Troop, was
gathered u number of their relatives
and friends to properly celebrate the
passing of the i'iftieth anniversary of
their wedding. The evening was a
most happy one for all in attendance,
as they presented their good wishes,
for this popular couple and the gifts,
which bespoke the honor and esteem
in which they are held. Presents of
gold, and other costly gifts were giv
en by the friends and which were
highly appreciated, but the one thing
which was the most striking, was the
presentation of a beautiful silk flag,
presented by Thomas Glenn and other
of the comrades, who served in the
struggle for the preservation of the
union in the stormy years from IS CI
to IS 65.
The fore part of the evening was
spent in social conversation, and
reminiscenses of the years which
have flown as a scroll, and the sing
iiiK of the old time songs, which in
spired the boys in the fray and those
familiar ones which were in the
heighth cf their popularity a hall
century ago. Mrs. Wm. Troon pie
sided at the piano, with perfect
grace, while Thomas Glenn led in the
pongs. "The Battle Hymn of the lie
public." "Old Black Joe". "America"
and such popular ones helped to
speed the happy hours. At the ban
quet table there .sat surrounded more
than a thousand years of happiness
of those in attendance.
Mrs. C. R. Troop, who had charge
of the serving as the company was
standing around the festal board,
asked all to join in "Old Hundred",
and later all in unison repeated the
Lord's prayer, before the partaking
of the sumptious repast.
The bride, then Miss Lris Rw
More, was a child of the Ozarks. be
ing born near Sullivan. Franklin
county. Mo.. July 14. 1848. where
she spent with her parents, some
fifteen years of her happy girlhood
With them she moved to Davenport.
Iowa, where she resided until her
I marriage to Mr. Robert Troop on De
cember 13th. 1S70.
Mr. Robet Troop was born on Feb
ruary 23, lS43,at McGee. Ireland,
and with his parents came, to Amer
ica and located at Davenport, Iowa,
in 1844. when but one year of age.
At that time there was but four
houses in that now populous city. At
the age of eighteen, he enlisted in
the companv E of of the 20th Iowa in
fantry, and was sent to St. Iuis.
and from there with a department of
the service, to Springfield, Mo. Th
first battle in which he was engaged
was that of Prairie Grove when one-
half of the Union army were killed
in the action. During the war he
participated in twenty pitched bat
tles, and was with the Union forces
when they captured Vicksburg.
At Morganzie Bend. La., he wa
taken prisoner and, was confined in
the Confederate prison at Tyler Tex
as for nearly a year. He with oth
ers, escaped, and after a flight of
twenty miles on foot through a hos
tile country, were captured by blood
hounds of the rebals within a shori
distance of the camp of the Union
array. Whil in the trees out of the
reach of the bloodhounds, they could
Jhear the martial music of the Fed
eral forces just over the Red river.
At Blakeley. La., .they had , their
last fight in 1S65, and were muster
ed out of the service in Clinton, la.
For a year Mr. Troop ran on a steam
boat on the Mississippi and tributary
rivers in the south. Te then came
to Omaha and worked on the con
structs nof the Union Pacific read,
in the later sixties, returning to
.Davenport, he -assisted in building
the bridge over the Mississippi, until
1870.
After their marriage they went
to Milwaukee, where Mr. Troop drove
a street car, then operated by horse j
and mule power..
In 187 6, they came to Nebraska
and purchased the farm where Galen
Rhoden now lives and made their
home there for ten years, then mov
ing to another place near, they resid
ed there for a year, then came to
Plattsmouth to live, and in the time
from 1888 to 1892, lived again on
the "farm where John M. Meisinger
now resides, and a neighbor to Sam
uel Richardson. Returning to Platts
mouth in 1893, they engaged with J.
V. Egenterger in the grocery busi
ness for two years and later in the
fuel' and feed business under the
firm name of Egenberger & Troop.
Closing out this business. Mr.
Troop was fortunate in drawing a
low number in the land lottery and
secured a good farm within a b'
mile of Gregory, S. D., which he,
after a residence of some four years,
disposed of it at a good figure and
returned to Plattsmouth. where they
have enjoyed the honor and respect
of a host of friends since.
