Golden Wedding. [Archibald and Sophia Jones]
(Emporia Weekly Republican dated 23 April 1885 page 3 column X.)
After fifty years of happy married life and his many friends wishing to place in his possession some more tangible, though not more lasting, memento than happy memories of the occasion, last evening presented A. Jones, one of our oldest and most esteemed citizens, with a gold headed cane. A hay and apt presentation speech was made by H Metz, in which the old gentleman was wished all the happiness could bestow and a healthy and righteous old age deserve. Mrs. Jones thanked the gentlemen for their kind remembrances of him and gave assurance on his part that he would in the future, as in the past, continue to deserve their much appreciated respect. The party took supper at Frazer's parlors and the old friends, over the repast, brushing the cobwebs from their memories, went back into the years gone by, and spoke feelingly of the old settlers and companions that had passed away while they themselves yet remained to tarry a little longer. Following are the names of the gentlemen who made the present: H E Norton, D Thomas, Harlow Wiser, H Metz, Frank Jones, Arch Jones, P J Heilman, Wm Duguild, George Kremer, and Judge DeCamp.
