MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1940. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOUBJtAL PAGE THREE Golden Wedding of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Sudduth (Continued from Page 1) fornia Wednesday evening. Tliey all regretted very much to see them de part. W'e all enjoyed our great family gathering and hope we can all be together many more happy years. In the very early day. My grandpa moved further west, There he met his dream lady. And decided that state was best. When Grandpa courted Grandma, By horseback they did ride. They had to go by the horse's accord, To make the miles wide. Then they were married. And to a farm they moved. For many a year, they carried Their work together; so smooth. When the early dews are falling. And into the stone heap darts the mink. Home to woodland fly the crows, When over the hill the farmer boy goes. Into the yard the farmer goes With grateful heart at the close of day, Harness and chains are hung away, For supper is ready he knows. To supper at last the farmer goes. The apples are pared, the paper read. The stories are told, then all to bed. With the cricket's careless song; Makes shrill the 6leep all night long. The housewife's hand has turned the lock. Slowly ticks the kitchen clock And to the cabinet she does fly Making pancakes on high. Then a thump, thump with, the broom is heard For the one3 who are up stairs, To come at once at her call For breakfast is ready for all. Then dishes are stacked, washed and put away, Her bucket she does grab. And to the chicken house on her way. She scatters the grain far and wide. To make a path brown Leghorns guide. The farm boy farther over the hill, Faintly, calling still, Co' boss, co' boss, co boss Now the cattle come crowding through the gate. Lowing, pushing, little, and great, Which in stanchions are locked For the farm boy, to wait. Now to his task the farm boy goes. And the white stream into the bright pail flows. Then to the house the milk is taken, From milk cream is separated. To the field the farm boy goes, So his crops he will make show. Soon echoing' over the hills, " ' A dinner bell so loud and shrill. Don't you hear that dinner bell? Calling fainter, fainter still, Come Virgil, Lyda, and Baby Dan, It's time to say our evening grace, Virgil you forsrot to wash your face Go do it before I speak the word. And call upon His Grace, the Lord. Take Danny too, his hands are a sight. Can't you tell natural flesh from dirt? All right 1 suppose we're ready now. Just shut your eyes and lower the brow, Dear Lord bless this day our daily bread, Virgil, drop that cake, lower the head, And keep us good and kind and sweet, Lyda, take your hands back from that meat. And keep us there I caught you Dan, Sticking your fingers in that jam, New lick 'em off. I'll start again. Dear Lord have patience with little men. Just babies, Lord, treacherous but sweet Hurray, bless the victuals so they can eat. Now let's don't forget. There are some left yet, Lela, Everett. Lona, Tony, Willaru and Otis to mention To surely draw your attention. When they were young and gay, Over the meadow they would play, Here and there they would run, Playing hide-and-seek and having fun. With their hearts would jump with joy. Was to see Grandma come in the door. She was. full or joy and trying to have fun. By getting out with the children and run. To her greatest joy was to go to some creek, Take her fishing pole and worms to fish, She would take some of her grand children with her. But they were not to make a noise, no sir. Now don't you know that tickled them To go to the creek and not be in a peri, Because to children's delight They like to see all the sights. As it is everything seems like a dream But yet a regular scheme. But married and live in Nebraska To fill out all their tasks. First let me tell you the day they met, And in their mind was set, I said to me "Now you be smart," 'I-I-H-I-I-I-I-H-I-I-M -H-I- J Thomas Walling Company 4 Abstracts of Title 4 Phone 324 Flattsmouth 4"M"M"M"M"IM"H"M-I"I't He's one to fill the eye, and yet He's not the one to fill your heart. He's much too tall and much too grand. Too many girls will fini him fair And if you once let go his hand. He'll have too many waiting there. "Choose some more likely, lesser lad, Who smiles as bright, but not so bold." I told myself these things; I'm glad I never do as I am told. Now it is mother's time to speak To tell of her treat. I've spent so many hours with you, And planned 6o many things to do, While bending over you, it seems You're part and parcel of my dreams. I've stood by you down through the years, Sometimes with smiles, sometimes with tears, And countless are the little prayers I've breathed upon you unawares. Some afternoons are painted in my mind All my children down the line, As I sit alone and wonder. From you a letter I ponder; I appreciate the little lines. From you all to take up the lonely time. This 50th anniversary we hope to enjoy, But not play with like a toy, Just be cheerful, joyful all the time, And all the rest of the kind things down the line. As all the family is very happy With sisters and brothers And cousins by the dozens, One great, great grandmother One great grandmother, One great grandfather. Twenty-four great grandchildren and grandchildren And ten great, great grandchildren and great grandchildren We wish you grandfather and grandfather many more happy years together. Marie Hamilton.
