GOLDEN WEDDING
----------
A Celebration of Interest in the Township of Hanover
----------
On the 22d day of September, 1837,
Alexander M. Hargrove and Mary
J. Smith were joined together in the holy bonds of wedlock, the Rev.
Samuel Morrison performing the ceremony. The attendants were Mr. William
Tyner and Mrs. Mary Woodyard, then Miss Mary Johnson.
Yesterday a large circle of their relatives and a few other invited guests met
at their home in Hanover township to celebrate the golden anniversary of their
marriage. Among those present were Mr. Tyner and Mrs. Woodyard, who stood up
with them fifty years ago. Among the relatives were nine children of the aged
couple, and one child being dead. The youngest child is more than thirty years
old. Many grandchildren were also present. Mrs. Hargrove’s family consisted of
five sisters and three brothers, all of whom are now living, the youngest being
sixty years old. Of those present from abroad was Dr. Hargrove, of New
Salem, Indiana; Mr. and Mrs. John Dalrymple, of Indianapolis, daughter
and son-in-law; Mrs. Alpheus Tyner, a daughter, and six children of
Madison, Wisconsin; Mrs. Mollie Barrb, a granddaughter, of Lincoln,
Nebraska; Miss Sallie Hargrove, a daughter, of Salt Lake City, Utah;
Mrs.
Mary Hubbard, a niece, of Janesville, Wisconsin. At precisely the same
hour that the marriage was originally performed the aged couple were seated in
two very beautiful and comfortable chairs, presented on this occasion, and the
Rev.
O.H.P. Abbott, of Indianapolis, delivered a very appropriate address to the
company in which he spoke of the blessings of old age surrounded by a large
family of children, all useful men and women in the world. The aged couple then
joined hands and the Rev. Abbott recited a very appropriate and affecting
ceremony. Quite a number of valuable presents were received. The family with a
few invited guests will picnic at Blue River Park on Saturday. The gathering on
Thursday was a notable one and will long be remembered by those who
participated. Mr. and Mrs. Hargrove have resided in this county a long time and
have hosts of friends who join with us in wishing that their declining years may
be pleasant and happy.Friday September 23, 1887
