Celebrating a Golden Wedding.

The fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Bolard was celebrated at their home in this place on Monday evening, upwards of 150 guests being present. The large home, so admirably fitted for such a gathering, had been tastefully decorated for the occasion. The affair was entirely informal and was a most delightful reunion of old friends, special efforts having been made that none of these were forgotten in the issuing of the invitations. The bride and groom of fifty years ago received the guests, and were assisted by Mrs. Thankful I. Dibble, of this place, a sister of the bride, and the only person now living who witnessed the ceremony. Mr. B.W. Pond, of this place, a brother of the bride, came pretty close to doing so, as he was invited to the wedding, but was detained, and arrived afterh the ceremony had been performed.

Richard Bolard was born Sept. 28th, 1828, on the Mang farm, just south of town, and he has made his home during his long life within a mile of this place. At the time of his marriage he owned the farm half-way between this place and Springboro, now owned by J.T. Munger, which later was exchanged for the adjoining farm, which Mr. Bolard yet owns, and which he left after th eburing of the homestead in 1895, moving to their present home in this place. In the days of the old canal he was engaged in the stave business in company with Mr. W.E. Power, and later the firm became extensive buyers and shippers of cattle. The partnership was dissolved about fifteen years ago when Mr. Power moved to Cleveland. Since that time Mr. Bolard has taken life easy. He has all his life carried on his firm and as in his other business enterprises has been successful. His business gave him a wide acquaintance and no man is held in higher esteem among the men with whom he has had business dealings.

Celestia Pond was born in Sprngtownship in 1835, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Orson Pond. The couple were married June 11th, 1855, by Rev. W.C. Henderson, then pastor of the M.E. church in this place. They went to Niagara Falls on their wedding trip, going by stage to Girard to take the Lake Shore road, the nearest railroad station at that time. Of seven children born to them, two sons, Fr. Ed. Bolard, of Salamanca, N.Y., and Richard Bolard, Jr., mayor of St. Mary's, West Virginia, and two daugthers, Mrs. Anna, wif or Hervey White, and Mrs. Phenia, wife of Dr. A.L. Dennis, both of Conneautville, are living. All were present with their families at the celebration. The Bolard home in all these years has been noted for its generous hospitality, and no worthy demand upon it has ever been denied. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bolard have all their lives been membrs of the Methodist church and among the most liberal contributors to its support. The Courier has gone into their home ever since their marriage, and as their own, their names have been added to our list, and the old home paper has no warmer or more steadfast friends. The remembrances were numerous and very valuable, well attesting the esteem in which the couple are held by those among whom their lives have been spent.

Among the guest from a distance in attendance were: Hon. and Mrs. Jacob Bolard, Mr. and Mrs. David Bolard, and Mr. and Mrs. W.B. Ross, of Cambridge Springs; Dr. and Mrs. Ed. Board, and little daughter, of Salamanca, N.Y.; Mr. and Mrs. Richard Bolard, Jr., of St. Mary's, West Virginia; Mr. and Mrs. W.A. McMaster and little daughter, of Jamestown, Pa.; Horace W. Power, of Cleveland; Frank W. Power and Mrs. Etta Ward, of Detroit, Michigan; Mrs. Joh n M. Landon, of Independence, Kansas; Mrs. John Price, of St. Joseph, Mo.; Mrs. Maggie Power Sherlock and Mrs. J.D. Southard, of Fort Smith, Arkansas; Mrs. Minnie Power McNamara, of New Castle, and Mrs. M.M. Dennis of Conneaut Lake.
