Six children of the aged couple from different parts of the United States attended the celebration of three anniversaries during August. Aug. 16 was Mrs. Hemingway's birthday and on Aug. 26, seventy-five candles were lighted on Mr. Hemingway's birthday cake. The fifty-second anniversary of their marriage was celebrated on Aug. 27 at the Oak Park Country club.
Yesterday was "Grandmother's and Grandfather's day" and marked the fiftieth anniversary of the residence of the couple at the same location in Oak Park.
"The people had just taken up the land from the government when we moved out here," said Mr. Hemingway. "It was selling then for $1.25 and acre. There were about 1,000 people all told fifty years ago. Today there are about 35,000."
The six children who attended the anniversary series are Mrs. Angenette Hemingway Hines, wife of the Rev. F. B. Hines of Carbondale, Ill.; Dr. Willoughby A. Hemingway, a medical missionary home on furlough from his duties in China; Dr. Clarence E. Hemingway of Oak Park; George R.
