Anniversary- Mitchell, William and Eliza
59th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
FOR ROSSVILLE COUPLE
Mr. and Mrs. William Mitchell of this city will have been wedded 59 years next Saturday, March 22nd. They have not planned any especial celebration for the unusual event.

They are Mrs. Joe Dean, of Rossville, Mrs. Robert Owens and Mrs. Bertha Kirkpatrick, of Topeka, Mr. W. H.
