60th Wedding AnnouncementMarch 1919 newspaper clipping: Celebrate 60th Wedding Anniversary. Last Thursday was a big day at Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Fletcher's home northeast of town when their 60th wedding anniverary was celebrated. These excellent old people were married in Bureau Co, IL, 60 years ago on that day. There were 43 present, children, grand-children, and great-grandchildren, at the reception. All the children were present except O.L. Fletcher of IL.
J.T. Fletcher was born in Virginia 86 years ago last Friday and Mrs. Fletcher was born 77 years ago. They lived in Bureau Co until 1883 when they moved to their present home on a farm northeast of Crawfordsville where they have resided every since. They were the parents of 12 children, one daughter dying in Illinois and ll children still living. The dinner was a bountiful one, turkey, chicken, and everything that goes to make a feast, that the Fletcher girls know so well how to prepare.
Mrs. Frank Hull of Williamsburg, KS, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Fletcher and children of Columbus Junction, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Fletcher of Winfield were there to help celebrate. It is hoped by their host of friends they live to celebrate their diamond wedding anniversary.
