GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
Sunday was the golden anniversary of Mr. & Mrs. L. T. Merriam of our city; and the occasion would have been duly celebrated, but for a recent bereavement in the family.
Fifty years ago Lauren T. Merriam and Susan Hubbard, then in the mid-morning of life, were united in marriage among the Connecticut hills, whose summits were to them flecked with
the rainbow tints of promise. For half a century through varying fortune they have steered their life-barque down the stream of time to the present autumnal harbor.
Mr. Merriam has been engaged in a variety of enterprises, and at one time was a man of considerable means, being interested in three banks -- one in Connecticut and two in Indiana. In 1856 he was proprietor of a large store in Chicago, having removed to that city before the advent of railroads.This aged couple removed to Dixon twenty-two years ago, which has since been their home.
Mr. & Mrs. Merrian are well and favorably known to a very large circle of citizens who all wish them many happy anniversaries on the second half century of their matrimonial life.
