In Oregon Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Eastman celebrated their 50th wedding an niversary Sunday at their home here. It was open house to all through the afternoon and even ing. They welcomed around 90 of their friends and neighbors. The tables were beautifully dec crated with yellow roses, a large wedding cake adorning the center cf one table. Ice cream, cakes rnd coffee were served each guest. Many and lovejy were the gifts leceived, among which was a beautiful, large lace table cloth I resented by the Mist Helping Circle and a stuffed spring rocker by the community. Many out of town guests attended. Mrs. Cro- ford of Mist poured. Mrs. John Devine of Clatskanie, Jane Bris tol of Gales Creek, Mrs. Dorothy Eastman of Forest Grove and Mrs. Fred Siegenthaler assisted. On December 10, 1897, in Quincy, Gasden county, Florida, Nellie Ellenor Black and Bert Eastman of Wis. were united in marriage. For eight years they lived in her home state, Florida, then came to a homestead between Mist and Clatskanie where they lived another 5 years, coming down to the valley here where they built a home, and still live. Two sons came to bless their home: W. T. Eastman of Forest Grove and Bert Lloyd Eastman of Klamath Falls and four grand- children. We wish this grand couple may live to have many more years to travel down life’s highway together. The Eastmans wish to thank all who helped make this occasion possible. Mrs. Walter Mathews mother, Mrs. Condit, from Vernonia is visiting her. The W. M. S. meets at Birken- fcld this week, Wednesday.
