The fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of George Frost and Catharine Shewman of this village was celebrated Thursday, the 31st ult, at the Glen Park Hotel.
There were present that attended the wedding fifty years ago, only two — Christopher Shewman, brother of the bride, and Mrs. Jane Duvall, sister of the groom.
Mr. Frost is one of twelve children, five of whom are still living, viz: Mrs. Duvall and Mrs. Palmer of Reaver Dams, N.Y., and Hiram Frost of Amherst Wis., and Allen Frost of Almond, Wis.
Mrs. Frost is one of seven children, five of whom, viz: Christopher Shewman of Geneva, Jas. Shewman of Wedgewood, Alanson Shewman of Corning, and Wm. Shewman of Elmira, N.Y., still survive.
Of the fifty invited guests, about forty of whom were present all but about half a dozen (who were life-long friends) were brothers, sisters, children and grandchildren. Rev. R.K. Douglas, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, was present by invitation and after the sumptuous repast furnished by the Hotel added to the general musical and other entertainments some felicitous remarks, contrasting the last fifty years with the 969 years of the life of Methuselah, and cordially congratulating the parties of the present on their fortuitous advantages. The golden and other tokens well indicated the appreciation of the guests.
