And that is why we’re here my dears. Then back to the old “Homestead Brown” The happiest bride and groom around No “mock orange” wreath for them. The vows they made, they kept Until today, thru fifty years They still are happy yet. Four daughters came to bless This little home of happiness. The circle still remains unbroken. This we know is another token. That God was in this home to care And see that all kept safely there. The grandchildren number eight; The girls and boys an even score— Four of boys and girls four more; Two small great-grandchildren if you please, To sit upon great-grandparents’ knees. And then one daughter has her turn To see that home fires brightly burn And help in every way she may To brighten many a lonesome day. Their Golden Wedding Day! What a flood of memories it brings, Many joys as well as sorrows. And a host of other things. How few folks pierced by Cupid’s dart Even live and love to play the part Of celebrating as do they Their happy Golden Wedding Day. They must have whispered soft and low In that beloved long ago— Come grow old along with me “The best, my dear, is yet to be “The last of life, for which the first was made.” April 14, 1887 April 14, 1987 50 years and many more Those attending from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. F.H.
