MARRIED WEBB-ELLSWORTH
Never did marriage bells chime more than on last Wednesday evening, October 18, 1899, as Rev. J. P. Armstrong, of the M. E. church of this city, solemnized the sacred vows which united, forever, the lives of two of our most promising young people, Mr. Russell Webb and Miss Gertrude Ellsworth.
The marriage took place at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. S. Z. Ellsworth, one mile east of town. If Nature ever smiles or frowns upon our lives, or presages anything for the future, the marriage of the young people was a most auspicious one. The weather was never more nearly perfect; the "moon was at her full and riding high, flooding the calm fields with light," and everything was in keeping with this most joyous occasion.
The rooms of the beautiful home of the bride's parents were made more beautiful by the elaborate draperies and beautiful festoons which were so artistically arranged. As the clock told the hour of eight, the young couple, led by Rev. Armstrong, entered the parlor, taking their places in front of a bank of fragrant flowers, where in the presence of sixty invited guests the solemn marriage vows were pronounced.
The bride's dress was a rich faile silk of the new castor shade. The trimmings were of pearls and Persian applique, the richest and most tasteful garnitures of the season. The groom wore regulation black. After the wedding, all sat down to a supper as bountious in good things as the decorations were rich in design. Soon after twelve o'clock all had bestowed their richest blessing and good wishes upon the bride and groom and bid them good night. The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. Z. Ellsworth, and is one of Elk county's most charming and accomplished young ladies.
The groom is the eldest son of Mr. and Mr. J. J. Webb, and a young man of exceptionally good character and business enterprise. He is one of our most prosperous young farmers and stockmen.
The young people will reside at the home furnished by the groom, one of the nicest residences of the city. They will be at home to their friends after November 1.

MR. AND MRS. JOHN WEBB
A GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY AND A WEDDING
To reach the fiftieth annual recurrence of the wedding day is an event so rare, even in those couples who are most happily mated, as to be worthy of notice. Such an event occured in Moline, Kansas, Sunday, July 1, 1900. Its celebration was deferred until Monday afternoon and evening when the happy event received due recognition.
In the year 1850 John Webb led his bride to the altar of the Pottern Church where her membership rested. It was an Episcopalian church in England and there the young curate pronounced for them the marrigage ceremony according to its honored ritual. From that time until this, their lives have been truly blended while the varied experiences common to life's pilgrimage have been theirs.
"Sometimes, mid scenes of deepest gloom;
Sometimes, where Eden's bowers bloom."
Faithfully, have they, as one, trodden the smooth or rugged way for half a hundred years, divinely led. Today, crowned with blessings and surrounded with loved ones, they look cheerfully out to the home whose very streets are golden.
Three years of wedded life were spent in the mother country, then America became their adopted land, since 1871 Kansas has been the home.
To this golden wedding but few invitations were given because the family is large. All of the six children were in attendance and nearly all of the seventeen grandchildren, also one great grand child.
Mr. Webb is 81 years old and Mrs. Webb is 73.
At five o'clock, an event, in beautiful harmony with the occasion occurred. The guests were called to the parlor where the only unmarried child, Mrs. Maud Webb Hibbard, quickly became Mrs. Charles Prier. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. P. Armstrong, pastor of the M. E. church, assisted by the Rev. J. D. Smith and Rev. W. C. Goodwin. Then came the sumptuous repast, the tables being spread upon the beautifully shaded lawn. The occasion was a very happy one and many valuable tokens of esteem were presented. We here copy in full a card accompanying one from the Ladies' Aid Society of the M. E. church, of which Mother Webb is president:
"The house is full of life and light,
It is the golden wedding day.----Longfellow
To Grandpa and Grandma Webb."
"As you go down the shaded slope of life, we place this rug in your pathway on this 'Golden Wedding Day.' Accept this gift from the Aid Society as a reminder of our love and esteem." W.C.G.

At 9:30 a.m., they met at the home of Mr. Charlie Prier and drove to the home of Mr. Baker, three miles south of the city, carrying with them well filled baskets and tokens of love. They arrived at Theodore's about 11 a.m., and at 12:30 they repaired to the lawns where under some old apple trees a long table was groaning beneath it load of good things to eat, and after forty members of the Webb and Baker families had partaken of its bounteous supply. Some of them were doing the groaning and the table was much relieved. A very happy afternoon was spent in music and conversation, and all went to their several homes feeling the happier for having been there.
