SENECA TRIBUNE (Seneca, Kansas)- Thursday, June 10, 1915- Page 8.
IN SOCIETY
The PAWNEE REPUBLICAN had the following complete account of the sixieth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Aikin, which will prove of interest to many TRIBUNE readers.
"Monday, May 31, 1915, an unusual event was celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Aikins of this city, it being their sixieth wedding anniversary. Forty relatives and Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Stitt were served dinner at noon, and during the afternoon and evening about 175 persons called to congratulate the bride and groom of sixty years ago, and were served with ice cream and cake by the Misses Imo Thompson, of Seneca, Kansas, and Alma Aikins and Maude Aikins Heartsease and pansies were used as favors. The bride's cake was a surprise prepared by Mrs. W. H. Hatfield, and Mrs. W. A. Spees presented the bride with her bouquet of hot-house roses. Many other flowers were sent during the day. After dinner the relatives gathered in the yard for J. P. Wilson to take a group picture."
The G. A.R. and W. R.C.went to the house in a body with their banners and flag, and so added to the pleasure of the day for Mr. and Mrs. Aikins. Just as the house was becoming quiet and a few were still chatting in the parlor,strains of music were heard and it was soon discovered that the mandolin club was serenading. The boys went in and spent an enjoyable half hour with the couple of honor."
"Among the many surprises were telegrams of best wishes from Mr. and Mrs. A. E.Bray and H.O.Bray of Laurel, Montana. Many letters and presents came from the relatives and friends who were unable to be present. Those who were at the dinner presented them with a handsome dining table. Needlework was given place by a quilt from Mrs. William Miner, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Aikins."
"Henry L. Aikins and Miss Mary Hitt were united in marriage May 31, 1855,in Vinton county, Ohio, and immediately went to their home in Illinois, where they resided until the war broke out. Mr. Aikins enlisted and served over three years as sergeant of Company H 11th Illinois cavalry, being discharged at the close of the war. J.O. Wagner of this city belonged to the same company. After the war, Mr. Aikins and wife came by wagon to Pawnee county and took a homestead one and a half miles from Pawnee City. Since leaving the farm they have made their home in their present residence."
"The three children of Mr. and Mrs. Aikins, A. R. Aikins of Alton, Kansas, Mrs. William Miner of Guide Rock and W. A. Aikins of this city, were present. Others attending from out of town were Mrs. Ruby Scott, Mrs. Walter Thompson and daughter Imo of Seneca, Kansas, A. I. Scott of Topeka, Kansas, T. J. Wade and wife of Sabetha, Kansas and William Miner of Guide Rock."
Married to Henry Lewis Aikins May 30, 1855 in Vinton County, Ohio.
