Birthday Surprise.
----------
Thursday, September 1st., 1881, was a day long to be remembered with pleasure by the family and many friends of Daniel Snepp, who met at the old homestead on the above date. The occasion of this gathering was the anniversary of Uncle Daniel's sixty-seventh birthday, and as "Aunt Mary's" would occur in a few days, their children and friends resolved that they would compliment both at the same time with a grand surprise. How well they succeeded in this, the end will show. Some two weeks previous to this invitations to a large number, were issued, to relatives and friends and preparations were quietly begun for this anticipated gathering. The morning of Thursday, the 1st of September dawned clear and beautiful, after the delightful rain on Wednesday, and it so happened that during the morning Uncle Daniel went to his west farm to engage in some agricultural pursuits.Shelbyville, Indiana

Birthday Surprise.
----------
On his return home he discovered more carriage tracks than usual leading up the avenue towards the house, which aroused his suspicions that something was not just right, but before he had much time to consider about what was going on he was taken in charge by Mr. Adam Rhinehart and David Compton, who escorted him to the yard and house and introduced him to about one hundred persons already assembled. "Uncle" Daniel acknowledged being beaten, and in his usual good natured manner submitted to the ordeal through which he was compelled to pass. After the usual congratulations, etc., he was taken to the parlor, seated in a beautiful revolving office chair, a gift from his sons, John and George, and his feet placed on a handsome ottoman, a present from Mrs. Lewis Snepp. While in this comfortable position many tokens of regard were presented him and "Aunt" Mary, which gifts were both beautiful and useful. The exact number of presents and the names of the donors we are unable to record.
Then came the dinner, which for abundance and quality, as the many there will testify, was seldom if ever excelled in old Jackson township. Or, as one lady of remarkably good taste said, it was one of the finest spread table she had ever seen. During the discussion of these viands, many pleasant reminiscences of "ye olden days" were recounted, which were very much enjoyed by both old and young. If space permitted, I would like to mention the names of and the occurences related by the many old settlers who were together on this occasion, whose presence and revelations added so much to the enjoyment of the feast. But for the present the above must suffice. The subjects of the above notice, Daniel and Mary Snepp, stand in the fore front of the industrious, well-to-do, honored and esteemed citizens of Jackson township, Shelby county, Indiana. After spending a very pleasant day I left these good people with the wish that they might live long to enjoy the results of their labor, and have many pleasant returns as they had on last Thursday, and to continue to the end of life as they have lived to the present, true to mankind and to their God.
