Silver Wedding Anniversary.
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pignian
celebrated their silver wedding-
anniversary last Saturday night
at their elegant home in the
southwest part of the city.
There were between sixty-five
and seventy personal friends
present to enjoy the hospitality
of the bride and groom of twenty
five ycam ago. At 7 o'clock the
guests sat dowu to a splendid
wedding supper and among a
number of handsome waiters
were JSlba and Merle the younger
sons of Mr. and Mrs. Pigman.
A number of valuable as well
as handsome souvenirs were pre
sented by the guests in honor of
the occasion.
Mr. Pigman has been a resident
of this state since 1884 , coming
from Indiana and first locating
near Kearney , where he was
married to Miss Hattie George
November of the same year.
To this union were born four
boys , the oldest of whom is Clyde ,
who is married and resides in this
city , where he holds a responsi
ble position in the Security State
Bank. The second son Kheu-
mont is at present away at school
in Valparaiso Ind. The two
younger , Merle and Elba are at
home with their parents.
In 1889 Mr. Pigman , with his
family , moved to Custer county
and established their residence
in Loup township where he en
gaged in farming , teaching
school in the winter season. In
1901 he moved to Broken Bow to
serve as deputy under County
Clerk George W. Dcwey. Having
filed this position four years he
was elected county clerk and two
years later was elected to the
second term without opposition ,
having secured the entire vote
of the county. His present term
expires with this year. '
He has recently received the
appointment of census director of
the sixth congressional district ,
the active duties of which he will
assume the first of the year.
