Golden Wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Carron.

Bloomsdale, Mo., Dec. 30.

Editor Fair Play:

An event of great local interest, and one which will evoke much sympathy and heart congratulation on the part of the old citizens of this and neighboring counties, will take place in this village on Monday, January 19, viz., the golden wedding of Joseph Carron and Melanie Caillot. For three quarters of a century this venerable pair have contributed to the moral, social and political progress of the great State of Missouri. The lineal descendants of those early explorers who laid the foundations of the great wealth of this State at Ste. Genevieve, in 1735, they have, through a long and arduous life, been identified with every throb which it has given in its great march of progress, until now in their ripe old age they see themselves crowned and surrounded with all the evidence of Heaven's blessings in the guise of competency, friends and descendants. The parents of ten children, their progeny has increased until they now enumerate 130 grand and great grandchildren all of whom have been given to our own great State.

The life of this venerable couple has been always marked by industry, energy, honesty and religious faith. A rigid Catholic, as well as an energetic citizen, Joseph Carron has always amply contributed to the support of his religion and by this means proved himself a worthy descendant of the great Catholic founders of our State. His benefactions in this relation have brought a degree of religious prosperity to the vicinity for which it could not otherwise reasonably hope.

The wedding will be celebrated in a religious as well as social manner. A High Mass will be sung at 9 o'clock A.M. at which a discourse suitable to the occasion will be pronounced. All the friends and relatives of the venerable pair are cordially invited to assist at the sacred ceremonies.

The reception will take place in the evening , commencing at 7:30, at Zeno's Hall.

Joseph Carron has been solicitous to procure the permanent blessings of a parochial school for the youth of St. Philomena's congregation and for the promotion of this object he has decreed to give his reception at the festival, to be given on the evening of his wedding for the liquidation of the debt ($310) contracted by the purchase of the Chambers estate (118 acres) and the buildings on the same.

Mr. Carron wisely and generously wishes to make this event, of so great social happiness to himself, his venerable spouse, to his children and friends, an occasion of the diffusion of the means of religious and secular education to his great grandchildren and the children of the poor. Joseph Carron is not to be classed with the irreclaimable herd who believe that horny hands, hard muscles, corrupt minds and brutal manners are the best inheritance which children receive from their parents. He wishes his friends to meet him where his heart is most interested.

All hail 1 happy, virtuous pair! A. G..

Mr. J. Flynn a writer for the Fair Play tells of his "A TRIP THROUGH THE HILLS",

Before leaving Bloomsdale we made a passing call on one of the most remarkable men I have ever met. His name is Mr. Joseph Carron. His descendants number 12 children, over 140 grandchildren and a few great grandchildren, yet he is only 74 years old. He is still in possession of vigorous health and his mental faculties are clear and strong. He has always led a life marked by the purest Christian honor and devotion and his descendants love and respect him. At his New Year's reception, which I attended, his children and grandchildren knelt before him in sincere respect to receive his parental benediction."
