Dr. and Mrs. W. D. IRONS
McDonald PA Washington County PA
fiftieth wedding anniversary
From The
McDonald PA Record, June 20, 1924:
Congregation Observes Golden Wedding of Pastor and Wife
The fiftieth wedding anniversary of Dr. and Mrs. W. D. IRONS was
appropriately observed on Tuesday evening, June 17th, by the First
United Presbyterian congregation of McDonald, of which Dr. IRONS has
been the faithful pastor for forty-four years. The auditorium had been
elaborately decorated with palms, ferns and summer flowers. At eight
o'clock the congregation had filled the church to overflowing. Mrs.
Mel MOORHEAD was at the organ. Following a prelude, Mrs. William G. COOK
sang, "O Promise Me," the bride and bridegroom of fifty years ago
being at the church entrance. To the strains of the Lohengrin wedding
march Dr. and Mrs. IRONS made their way to the chancel, preceded by four
little girls gowned in white--Hilda COOK, Alice Jean VALENTOUR, Lois
MCCARTNEY and Mary Elizabeth JOHNS--who strewed flowers in their
pathway. Dr. and Mrs. IRONS were followed by Mr. and Mrs. T. M.
DOUGLASS, Mrs. Richard GLADDEN, Mr. John A. HUNTER and Mr. Samuel SMITH,
who were members of this church when Dr. IRONS became its pastor. About
twenty members of Dr. and Mrs. IRONS' family were then seated to the
right of the chancel.
