Mr. and Mrs. John M. McDOWELL
McDonald, PA Washington County, Pennsylvania
From an unknown newspaper, August 18, 1960:
JOHN M. MCDOWELLs WED 50 YEARS
A McDonald couple, Mr. and Mrs. John M. McDOWELL, quietly
observed their 50th wedding anniversary on Tuesday in their
home in East Lincoln avenue.
John MCDOWELL and Mary HADDEN were united in marriage
August 16, 1910, in the HADDEN home; the same building in
which the McDOWELLs reside and were Mrs. MCDOWELL was born.
The ceremony was performed by the late Dr. W. D. IRONS. They
have spent their entire married life in McDonald.
Mr. MCDOWELL has operated a meat market in McDonald for
50 years, having purchased the business from his
father-in-law, the late Charles G. HADDEN. The market has
been in continuous operation at the same location in East
Lincoln avenue since 1869. It was the first meat market in
McDonald.
The MCDOWELLs are the parents of five
children--Margaret, the wife of R. W. WALLACE of
Pittsburgh, John A. MCDOWELL of Oakmont, Miss June MCDOWELL,
Charles V. MCDOWELL, and Marian, the wife of Angelo T.
CHRISTY, all of McDonald [Pa]. There are five grandchildren.
Mr. and Mrs. MCDOWELL were pleasantly surprised Sunday
when their children and grandchildren tendered them an
anniversary dinner in the CHRISTY home in Town & Country
Acres.
The house was beautifully decorated in gold and white.
The table centerpiece was a tiered wedding cake surrounded
by gold and white gladioli.
Following the dinner, a portrayal of "This is Your
Life," prepared by their children was presented and
recorded.
Present were Mr. and Mrs. R. W. WALLACE and son John of
Pittsburgh, Mr. and Mrs. John A. MCDOWELL and daughters Suzi
and Jody of Oakmont, Miss June MCDOWELL, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles V. MCDOWELL and sons Thomas and David, Mr. and Mrs.
A. T. CHRISTY, and Mrs. Margaret JAMISON, all of McDonald,
and Mrs. Cora RUSSELL of Midway.
