Mr. and Mrs. A. R. BURNS
Imperial PA Washington County PA
fortieth anniversary
From The
Record, November 6, 1908:
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. R. BURNS, northeast of the city, one
of the events which mark the bright spots along life's pathway, the
fortieth anniversary of their wedding, was observed October 17. For some
time past the word was secretly passed around among the relatives and
many friends of the couple by Miss Margaret BURNS and Mrs. Robert BURNS,
requesting those told of the event to be present as a complete surprise.
The day was perfect in its autumnal beauty. Some twenty relatives from
Fairfield came in carriages to an appointed meeting place, from where,
with those in waiting, they drove to the BURNS home in a body. After the
congratulations were over, thirty-three persons sat down to a grand
spread at a number of tables that had been prepared unknown to the
honored couple. Four of the guests were present at the wedding, forty
years ago. They were: Mrs. Anna B. LEWIS, Messrs. W. C. and G. W. BALL,
sister and brothers of the bride, and Mrs. Margaret MCCANDLESS of Orien,
Ill., a sister of the groom. Among the gifts presented were forty silver
dollars, representing the years of married life. The presentation speech
was made by Hon. George BALL. Miss Cora BALL read a large number of
letters and messages from relatives in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Canada. A musical entertainment followed this, after which Miss Mary L.
STEVER took snap shots of the company.
