Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. BRANNAN
McDonald PA Washington County PA
twenty-fifth anniversary
From The Record, July 11, 1924:
Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. BRANNAN of South McDonald street celebrated the
twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding on Thursday of last week. At
six o'clock a four-course dinner was served by their daughter, Miss
Sara BRANNAN. A large centerpiece of the season's flowers adorned the
table. The dinner party consisted of the immediate family with the Rev.
J. I. KROHN and Mrs. Esther PYLE as their guests. After the dinner the
Rev. Mr. KROHN presented Mr. and Mrs. BRANNAN with a chest of silver, a
gift from their son, John O. BRANNAN, and his wife. Miss Margaret PARR
and Frank P. BRANNAN were united in marriage July 3, 1899, at the
parsonage of the Willow Island Baptist church in Parkersburg, W. Va.,
the Rev. Harvey COVER officiating. Mrs. BRANNAN attended this church
when a child and at the age of sixteen joined it. Mr. and Mrs. BRANNAN
went to housekeeping in Waverly, W. Va., latter moving to Florence and
then to McDonald, and here they have resided for nearly twelve years.
In the evening a number of neighbors and friends met at TILLINGHAST's
machine shop and walked in on Mr. and Mrs. BRANNAN, taking them entirely
by surprise. After congratulating the happy couple a pleasant evening
was passed in vocal and instrumental music and in social conversation.
At ten-thirty a delicious lunch, which was furnished by the guests, was
served by Mrs. D. W. KELLY, Mrs. Albert RIFLEY, Mrs. Richard PLANCE, and
Miss Oley KELLY. The Rev. J. I. KROHN in a few well-chosen words
presented Mr. and Mrs. BRANNAN with a well-filled purse of silver, a
gift from the guests. Present were the Rev. J. I. KROHN, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles KENNEDY, Mr. and Mrs. Richard L. PLANCE, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond C.
WHITNEY, Mrs. D. W. KELLY, Mrs. F. M. HUNT, Mrs. Esther PYLE, Mrs.
