that no similar occasion ever
brought more, real, genuine ,
joy to the hearts of those in
attendance than was experi

ficult matter to get so small
a number of persons together
whose combined ages reach so
far into years as in this in
stance.

to first honors, she being T‘»
years old. Her sister, Mrs,
