A Golden, Wedding-.
While the rest of the busy world was
occupied yesterday, some in the all ab
sorbing business of politics, some with
their farms and others with their mer
chandise, an event occurred in this city
that deserves more tb an a passing
notice. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Beezley,
two aged and honored Oregon pioneers,
surrounded by more than a score of their
children, grand-children, and great
grand-children, celebrated their golden
wedding. It was a happy gathering, j
but one. withal, whose cup of joy, like
every. other put to human lips, '.con
tained ingredients of sadness, for eyes
looked love into other . eyes that in the
course of nature must soon be closed in
death, and the event that had gathered
them together could never be repeated
in this world -again. Fifty years ago,
yesterday, Joseph Beezley and Mary
Jane Barr plighted their faith to each
other, at the marriage altar, in the little
town of Danville, Ohio, and the long
years of happy wedded life that have
passed since, then, have proven that this,
at least, was one of the marriages that
poets Bay are made in heaven.
What, a retrospect these 50 years
must afford! Of the twelve children
born to them, eight await them in the
land where sorrow and death never
enter, and one of these was tearfully
laid to rest by tbe lonely hillside, while
its parents were braving the hardships
of the way from their eastern home to
the land of the setting sun. Mr. Beezley
was born at Springfield, Ohio, in 1819.
He comes of distinguished parentage,
tracing his lineage back to the Pilgrims.
His grandfather was a general in the
British army, and his father added new
honors to the name by his marriage to
Phoebie Reeves, of Virginia. Fourteen
children were born to this pair of whom
Joseph was the twelveth. "
In the spring following the death of his
father aud mother, in 1851, Mr. Beezley,
with his wife and children, started on
the long and perilous trip to Oregon in
company with Col. I. R. Moores, sen.
The journey was attended with all the
trials, hardships and losses incident to
all immigrants at that time. The party
arrived at Fort Dalles on October 15th,
1852, after seven months of continuous
travel. The winter of 1852-53 was very
severe and all . the. cattle Mr. Beezley
was possessed of perished, but nothing
dismayed, in the following September
he purchased a hundred head of cattle
in Clatsop Plains, which he shipped in a
sailboat for sixty miles up the Columbia
and drove to the valley of the TJmpqua,
where he made his home for eight years.
After suffering a loss of $5,0000 through
endorsing another man's note, he re
moved to Benton county in 1862. At
the close of a three year's residence in
Benton county, he moved his family and
effects across the mountains and bought
a squatter's right to a homestead claim
on Fifteen Mile creek, now owned by
A. J. Dufur, jr. Here he continued suc
cessfully in the horse and sheep, busi
ness till the year 1879, when he sold out
at a profitable' figure and moved his
family to The Dalles, where he has since
resided. ; , .
Daring a residence of nearly forty
years in this state. Mr. Beezlev conld ho
reckoned among its most public spirited
citizens. Ever foremost in every good
work that tended to advance the moral
and religious wellbeing of his fellow
citizens, many an institution of learning
ana struggling church or still more
struggling pastor .owes him debts of grati
tude that never can be rewarded this
side that land where the crivinir of a. can
of water, to lips that are thirsty, never
tails of its reward. Dunne all these
long and weary years of joy and sorrow,
of toil and rest, of trial and triumph, his
wife has been a true and faithful help
mate, a tender and indulerent mother.
and a faithful friend and neighbor.
If the saying of the psalmist is true
that children are the heritage of the
Lord, then this aged couple, who, hand
in nana, bave trod life's nathwnv fnr
half a century, are richlv - blessed with a
goodly heritage. There were present
with them yesterday, three of their four
living children, their daughter Elizabeth
(Mrs. Fred Smith) alone being absent ;
nine of their twelve grand-children and
three great ' grand-children, besides the
wives of their two sons and the husband
of their daughter Alma. The following
is the list of names : ' William Beezlev
and wife, J. Franklin Beezley, wife and
two cniidren; G. B. Simpson, wife
(Alma C. Beezlev)' and two children?
Henry Smith, wife and two children ;
jura. u. u. Beat (Mary E. Smith), Ed
ward J. Smith, Raymond F. Smith, and
J. C. Oliphant and 1 wife (Elsie M.
Smith). Quite a number of friends called
during the day and evening, . bringing
suitable and -valuable presents, an(j
flowers, but' the' ' scene was one too
sacred for the prolonged intrusion of one
not immediately related to the family.
About eight o'clock" the most pathetic of
the days incidents, occurred when G.
B. Simpson, husband of Alma C. Beez
ley, presented presents from the child
ren and grand-children and in a few
touching and well chosen words congrat
ulated Father and Mother Beezley on
having happily reached the golden mile
stone on their united pathway, ' thank
ing them for the example of conjugal
affection and public integrity they had
both set for their children, an example
that, the speaker said, would remain as
a heritage as long as memory held sway
and would stand out on the page of life's
history,, like apples of gold in pictures
of silver. This was followed" by the
most touching scene of all, when the
little great grand-children made their
present of golden cups and : saucers j to
their , great . grand-parents, while Mr.
Simpson again spoke on their . behalf .
It is needless to say that when Father
Beezley responded, . there was not a dry
cheek in the 'room. Thea the golden
bride and bridegroom ' were kissed and
congratulated by -their numerous off
spring, and the rest of the evening, till
nearly midnight, was devoted to song
and recitation, when the "good nights"
were repeated and all united in the hope
that the close of this long and happy
wedded life may be long deferred, and
when at last . nature like a tired child
may lay them down to rest, that their
end may be peaceful, and their entrance
into the world that knows no death,
abundant and triumphant.
D. J. Cooper jr. left Portland yester
day over the Northern Pacific for
Billings, Mont., where he is offered a
position at good wages. Dan would be
rather lonesome out there, being only
seventeen years of age, but he will meet
his older brother, Nathan, who will steer
him in the right direction. The. boys
will miss him here, but he hopes to be
able to return before his school
age passes and complete his education.
, Klngslsy Correspondence.
Kingsley, Or., April; 7, 1892.
Editor Chronicle :
Not seeing any Items from Kingsley
in the columns of your paper I thought
I would send a few items that might in
terest some of your readers. The farmers
are nearly done seeding. There" is a
larger acreage put in this year than ever
and with a good crop, and a fair price
Tor grain this fall, the farmers of Tygh
Ridge would be as independent as any
class of farmers in Oregon. The politi
cal pot has been boiling very hard since
we held our primary. The republicans
of Kingsely, and I may say ' of Wasco
county, are disgusted with both factions
of the party in The Dalles. The sooner
the leaders of both factions emigrate to
Jerusalem or some other holy place, the
better for the republican party of Wasco
county.
If they would view the situation as
the writer does, they would on next
June . take the democratic ticket and
vote it from top to bottom. I know it
would be a hard dose to swallow, but I
believe after two or three attempts they
could down the thing, while at the same
time, I believe the ticket nominated by
the bosses would choke any candid re
publican so dead that he could not catch
his breath till the morning of the resu
rection. In expressing my views thus,
I think I express the sentiments of the
voters of Kingsley, if not of the whole
county.
I noticed a letter in the Mountaineer
of April . 2d, . from Kingsley, signed
"Liberty," which is so devoid of truth
that it is remarkable that any man
should writt it or have it printed. The
only men who tried to dictate to the
Kingsley people whom they should send
to the county convention were a few
Dufur . politicians who had an ax to
grind and by means of a keg of bad 'beer
and a demijohn of worse whiskey and a
big amount of wire pulling and standing
in with The Dalles boss whose collar
they wear they got their ax ground. It
will be well for them if the first week in
Jnne does not knock the edge off it.

"Say, John, where did you get those
well fitting stylish shoes from?" :
"Why, I purchased them of The
Dalles Mercantile Company."
"You don't say so?"
"But why do you ask?"
"Because I have never seen' such
shoes since I left Boston. What brand
did you say they were?"
"Why Walter H. Tenney & Co., of
course." . -
"Well, now; I thought so. I am
right glad I met you, for I shall buy a
pair for myself, and take my family a
long too, for my children have always
wc-rn them. ! And do you know ? they
last a whole year."
. "Yes,': and you can get them in all
widths, and ' prices, in men's, ladies,
misses, child's, infants, boys and youths.
And do you know, they are sold under
a guarantee?" " -:
"No. - Why do they do so ?"
"Because they have a world wide
reputation, and can be relied upon."
The .Walter H. Tenney Shoe is sold
only by The Dalles Mercantile .Compa

proposes to give to his customers. By

now occupying is the same as he oc
cupied thirty years ago when The Dalies

as he owns the building and pays no
