"To Observe Golden Wedding"
A pioneer couple, Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Maxwell of Globe, will observe the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding this coming week.

Charles Collier Maxwell was born at Pioche, Nevada, October 18, 1871. He accompanied his parents to Arizona in 1877 where they settled in Alpine.

Nina Frances Brown was born in Pine Valley, Washington County, Utah, March 16, 1877, migrating with her parents to Nutrioso, Arizona, in the spring of 1881.

The couple was married in St. Johns, Arizona, on November 15, 1895, by Judge Farr in the home of Will Pratt. Their temple wedding took place in St. George, Utah, in December 1895, and they have lived continuously in Arizona since that time.

Eight children have blessed this union, six of whom are living. They are, Mrs. Nina Kowalski, Springerville, Mrs. Eva Whitehead, Hayden; Mrs. Irma Ekstrom, Miami; Charles E. Maxwell, Lowell, Arizona; Timothy A. Maxwell, Globe; and Gerald B. Maxwell, Phoenix. One daughter, Gwendolyn, passed away a few years ago in Bisbee at the age of twenty-five. They have twelve grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Charles Maxwell followed construction work for many ears and is at present employed as bailiff in the Gila County Superior Court. An ardent outdoorsman and sportsman, an expert fisherman and hunter, he is considered by many, an infallible authority on Arizona wild life and woodsman's lore.

Mrs. Nina F. Maxwell is the typical pioneer mother who is always ready on a moment's notice to aid the sick, help a neighbor usher in a new life, or assist a bereaved friend in time of sorrow. Her life has been dedicated to helping others.

An informal reception will be held in their honor at their home, 326 South Hill street, Globe, Sunday, November 11, from 2:00 to 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon. Members of the family will gather in the evening for a pot-luck supper in honor of the pioneer couple.
