Mr. and Mrs. George McClelland COUCH
Cherry Valley PA Washington County PA
? wedding anniversary
From The
Record, February 28, 1908:
Last Saturday was the twenty-fifty wedding [italics added] anniversary of Mr. and
Mrs. George McClelland COUCH, well known in McDonald, who now reside on
the John STERLING farm in Cherry Valley. Their relatives and friends
here to the number of forty drove over in two wagons and with a score
from other points tried to take them by surprise. The grand
old-fashioned turkey supper that was served at nine o'clock was
grounds for the belief that the surprise was not complete. But no
disappointment was felt as the palatable viands reconciled all, and the
social hours that followed left nothing to wish for. A handsome silver
tea set was presented to the hostess and the host was the recipient of a
luxurious leather armchair. The presentations were made by Robert J.
COOK, burgess of McDonald, who also led the dancing by himself doing an
Irish Jig to perfection. Many of the older guests forgot for the time
being the weight of years and were boys and girls again as they entered
the merry maze and tripped the fantastic toe once more. Much fun was had
enroute when one of the horses balked and the passengers had to get out
and push the wagon to the top of Gamble WINTERS' hill. Squire COCHRAN
is authority for the statement that the wife of a prominent McDonald
tailor is a most capable equestrienne. The evening was one of great
pleasure and much merriment.
*Note: Obviously, " the twenty-fifty wedding anniversary"
is a typo. I don't have the image to double-check and correct the
transcription.
