    CAUGHT THEM NAPPING
    Of all the most surprised couples of seven states, were Mr. and Mrs. Grover Kesler on Saturday evening, Sept. 8, it being their 25th wedding anniversary. After their nerves settled down a little the rest of the evening was spent very pleasantly playing cards and eating candy. Then next came the “eats,” and plenty of it, consisting of sandwiches, pickles, potato chips, potato salad, cake and coffee. Those that came to help them celebrate the anniversary were Mr. and Mrs. Albert Reser, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Kesler, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Reser, John Kesler and daughter Jennie, Mrs. Leo Allen of St. Marys. Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Fauerbach and son Johnnie, Mr. and Mrs. Grover Kesler. After a late hour we all separated for our homes wishing them many more happy wedding anniversaries, and that we could all be with them again in their same country home twenty-five years from then.
