MARRIED FIFTY YEARS.
Mr.
and Mr. Itobt. Mays Celebrate Their
Golden Wedding.
.a event, of far more than passing
interest took place in this city yesterday,
the occasion being the celebration of the
golden ' wedding of Judge and Mrs.
Robert Msys. Fifty years is a long
period of time, measured by anv stand-
ard ; but fifty years of married life is a
realization which comes but Eeldom in
this world of changes. The year's which
repreeent tho flight of time since Robert
Mays, a youth ot nineteen years, led to
the altar Mis3 Lodemma Fowler, a
young1 girl of sixteen summers, who
is now ins venerable helpmate, are
full of historic interest. It takes but a
brief imagination to picture the wonder
ful changes in tho commercial and
industrial life of this nation which h ive
occurred during sucli a period.
While to the immediate parties this
occasion was one of romantic interest,
boftened by the touch of retrospection
and hallowed by memories of hardships
undergone aud successes achieved in the
race of life, yet not to them alone but to
all who aro interested in bringing from
out the past scenes of another time,
when the West was but a frontier settle
ment and life was of a harder and
sterner kind, was this occasion full of
interest.
Surrounded by their children and
grandchildren, coming ironi different
aud distant portions of tho state, this
honored couple sat down yesterday to
their anniversary dinner. It was just
such a bright September day filty years
ago that the occasion (if which yesterday
was the celebration took place. Rut the
eurroundinga and thu scene were tar
different.
Mr. and Mrs. Mays were married in
SleComb, Illinois, Sept. 28, 1S49. Soon
after their martiage thu mirage ot the
West appeared before their eyes and
they determined to jiurney westward
and seek their home in Oregon. In 1S52
they crossed the plains to Oregon and
in October of that year arrived at what
is now Portland, then a place of but few
houses surrounded by denso foreete.
They settled first iu Line county, whero
they remained until 1858. In the latter
year Mr. and Mrs. Maya came to Eastern
Oregon and made their home near
Dufur, on a placo still owned by the
family.
h
fQ
Air. Mays at ouco engaged in me
took business wherein he laid the
foundations for tho substantial fortune
he now enjoys. Ho soon took an active
position iu the political life of Eastern
Oregon, aud represented thia county iu
the legislatures of 1SG0 aud 1871. Since
that time he has served two terms as
mayor of Dalles City aud now occupies
the office of county judge of Wasco
county, having been so elected at the
general election of 1800. Not only iu
matters of public concein has he taken
a prominent part, but he has alto been
largely identified with tho builues
interests of this county aud city, At
all times has he shown an abiding faith
in the prosperity, present aud future, of
Jason's
pmit Jars.

this community, and has invested bis
money freely in improvements of a sub
stantial nature, which are a credit not
only to himself, but to the sectiou where
in he has made his home for eo many
years.
It has always been
a matter of deep
regret that Mrs. Mays has not enjoyed
the good health her friends would wish
uer, uut ene iiua uurue uer imui:uii
with surprising patience, and the latter
years have brought to her much im
provement and hold the promise of
many year9 of usefulness yet to come.
At the family residence yesterday
afternoon were gathered the immediate
relatives, children aud graudchildren of
the honored couple. Tho decorations
were elaborate and beautiful. The
double pariors were draped with fish-
net, iuuic,i large sprays oi irgium
creeper were twined, fairly covering the

were hung Indian baskets full of sword
ftrns aud giowing masses of yellow
and orange Fiench mangolds. The
eame golden flowers covered mantels,
piano and all other convenient pla:es,
making a golden contrast to the green
drapery. On the dinner table a large
brass bowl of white sweet peas formed
the center piece. Near it was eet the
bride's cake and the golden wedding
cake wreathed in gold leaves and gilded
frosting.
After 6ome time pleasantly spent at
tho tables, whero the talk of the older
people was interspersed with the glad
music of children'a voices, tlio company j
adjourned to the lawn under the spa-;
c'ous trees, where the afternoon was ,
pasetd to tho delight of all. Towards j
evening many frionds of Judge and Mrs. t
Mays called to add their tespects to the j
occasion, Shortly after 0 o'clock a de-
liglitful serenade was tendered by the!
Commercial Club baud, which proved a
fitting ending to a most enjoyable day. i
It was especially gratifying that nil j
the children and so many of tho grand
children could bo present. Mr. nud j
Mrs. Maya aro the parents of nine
children, till of whom arc living save
one, Iofa, who died twenty-one years
ago. 1 lie oiliest, uenton, lives in al
