Church pleasantly surprised Mrs.
F. Coffyn, Monday evening, it
being the 53rd anniversary of
her birth. No one ever looked
more astonished than did Mrs.
Coffyn when she opened the door
and beheld the large crowd which
had congregated on the porch.
The first amusement was to
guess the hostess' age. The prize
for the correct guess was a slice
of birthday cake, Mrs. J. M.
Shaw being the winner. Mr.
Coffyn and daughter Mrs. Chid
ester rendered several piano
duets which were heartily appre
ciated. During the course of the
refreshments Mr. Coffyn distrib
uted birthday cards to all present
on which the guests wrote their
names.date and birthday verses.
Then they were presented to
Mrs. Coffyn for a remembrance
of the occasion. The Ladies also
presented a table linen to Mrs.
Coffyn. At a late hour all de
parted reporting a good time.
There were 25 present. x
