Medford Couple Honored
On Golden JVedding Day
Mr. and Mrs. George Peckham were honored at a surprise
party given June 21 in observance of their golden wedding anni
versary, a group of nearly 100 friends gathering at St. Mark's guild
hall for the event.
The Peckhams' son, George,
and his wife were here for the
occasion, and had previously
made all arrangements for the
party from Seattle, where they
live.
Lured to the hall on the pre
text that their son, a vocalist of
considerable ability, wanted to
sing a few numbers with the
choir of St. Mark's church, they
were greeted by their friends
upon arrival. Almus Pruitt was
at the piano to play "Here Comes
the Bride" as the couple entered.
The hall was colorful with
garden flowers, one table was
piled high with gifts for the hon
ored guests and another held the
traditional cake decorated with
gold leaves and wedding bells.
Miss Fay Woollsey cut the cake
and Mrs. Bertha Penwell served
punch.
The Peckhams were married
in Brockton, Mass., June 21,
1900, Mrs. Peckham being the
former Annie Lucy Wetherbee.
They came west in 1919 to
to Medford in 1923. Mr. Peck
ham has been with Timber
Products company continuously
for 27 years, and many of the
employees of that firm were
present to wish the couple hap
piness. The Peckhams' son, a pro
fessional singer, started his ca
reer in the same hall in which
the party was held, having won
the Atwater Kent audition in
1929. His first teacher was the
late James Stevens. Since that
time he has studied and sung
continuously and is now teach
ing in Seattle and filling singing
engagements throughout the
northwest. Mr. Peckham, a bass,
is now studying with George
Walker, formerly leading bass
with the Royal Opera company
in Berlin.
Mr. Peckham sang for the
group during the evening, con
cluding with "The Lord's Pray
er." In speaking of his work,
the singer said a great deal of
credit for whatever success he
