Sixty-Sixth Wedding Anniversary
From The McDonald PA Outlook, March 7, 1929
Celebrate Sixty-Sixth Wedding Anniversary
Last Monday, March 4, Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Newlin HOUGH, aged
respectively 89 and 87 years celebrated their sixty-sixth wedding
anniversary. The celebration was in the form of a surprise dinner party,
given at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Frank DEITRICH of Bergman
street, Sheraden. Their home is in Noblestown but for the past few
months they have been with their daughter in Sheraden. They are the
parents of Mrs. J. ROY of Noblestown. Mr. HOUGH was born May 8, 1840 in
Port Royal, Westmoreland county, and his wife was born April 23, 1842,
in Berlin, Somerset county Pa. In August 1862, the girl visited an uncle
in Port Royal and met the young man who became her companion through
these long years. They were married seven months later. Most of Mr.
HOUGH's life has been spent in the oil business, although he was a
farmer and a huckster for short periods at different times. Following
his wedding he took his bride to Port Royal for a time and then followed
the oil activity to Oil City, to McDonald [Pa], to Sistersville, W. Va., and
then to Noblestown [Pa], their present home.
There are nine children, eighteen grandchildren and twenty-two
great-grandchildren.
Mr. and Mrs. HOUGH say that the secret of their continuous marital bliss
lies in cooperation, peace, work and smiles. "Don't both get mad at
the same time. Life is too short to spend it fighting. Work together and
don't either one try to be the boss, Smile, push your cheeks up.
Don't let your face sag into wrinkles and ugly lines. Work and work
hard, both of you." On such a philosophy of life, Mr. and Mrs. HOUGH
have lived happily through sixty-six years of married life.
