Atchison couple Observe Golden Wedding Tomorrow
Married at St. Benedict's church Nov. 24, 1896, Mr. and Mrs. William Cahill will celebrate their golden wedding anniversary Sunday with an open house at their home 821 South fourth, from 2 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Charles Stoeckle, pastor of St. Benedict's church, and the attendants were Miss Mary Whelan, now Mrs. Frank Williams of Kansas City, and Frank Wolters, who also now lives in Kansas City.
At the time of their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Cahill both were Atchison residents. Mrs. Cahill the former Annie Tappen, came to America from Holland with her parents when she was two years old. Mr. Cahill was a molder at the Seaton foundry, and continued in that work throughout his working life, retiring a little more than a year ago.
Mr. and Mrs. Cahill recall that their wedding day was one of the beautiful autumn variety. Mrs. Cahill said the mahogany colored wool wedding suit she wore with fur and white satin trim was comfortable without a coat.
They went to housekeeping in a house in the 900 block on South Third, which no longer stands. They have resided in their present home for more than 38 years.
When a Globe reporter called on Mrs. Cahill this week, she found the bride of 50 years ago making a gooseberry pie. Although her sight has been failing for the past 16 years, Mrs. Cahill is able to do all her own housework, and is an excellent cook, an activity she greatly enjoys. both Mr. and Mrs. Cahill have been fund of outdoors sports throughout their married life.
A good conversationalist, Mrs. Cahill told the reporter that the half-century of married life seems to have passed rapidly. Recounting numerous joys and sorrows, she said that it is hard to make herself realize that 50 years have gone by.
Mr. and Mrs. Cahill were the parents of three children, of whom their daughter, Mrs. George Huebner of Topeka, is the only one now living. A son, William Cahill, jr. (SIC), died four years ago and the death of another son, Richard, occurred in infancy. They have four grandchildren: Margaret Ann and Richard Cahill, Kansas City, and George Robert and Caroline (SIC) Ann Huebner, Topeka.

On Thanksgiving day Mr. and Mrs. Cahill were even more pleasantly surprised when their daughter and her husband, George Huebner, and their family arrived from Topeka with a whole Thanksgiving dinner. This was the best anniversary present of all.
