bouquet. The pansies bordering
the rose garden are in gorgeous

preciate this thoughtfulness.

Sunday, January 29th marked
the thirtieth wedding anniversary
of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Larson
and their children surprised them
with a celebration that after-
noon at their lovely home on
North Main Street. The plans had
been so well guarded the honorees
did not suspect a thing until the
guests began arriving.
The day was beautiful and the
children engaged in outdoor
gmes on the lawn while the adults
enjoyed informal conversation.
The Rev. Herman Anderson
made a nice talk appropriate to
the occasion and extended con-
gratulations to the happy couple.
Mrs. Anderson also made a few
timely remarks.
Mr. and Mrs Larson were show-
ered with many lovely gifts and
as they opened the beribboned
packages the contents were pass-
ed around for all to see.
A lunch, consisting of ham
sandwiches, open face cheese
sandwiches, cake and cookies
were brought along and served
with delicious fragrant hot cof-
fee from a buffet table spread
with lace, having as a centerpiece
the beautiful large white wedding
cake decorated with pink and
green floral design and embossed
in green on top with “Happy An-
niversary,” baked and presented
by Mrs. Bremond Wood. Another
lovely cake on the table was the
gift of Mrs. Eual Hartsfield.
Mr. Larson and the former Hil-
ma Berggren of Lund were mar-
ried in a ceremony solemnized in
the parsonage at Lund, thirty
years ago, with the Rev. Holm-
berg receiving the vows. The
■ couple resided near Lund where.

farmer until about a year and a
half ago when they moved to

three daughters, Mrs Hartwin
Magnuson, Manda; Mrs. Carroll
Anderson, and Miss Lois Larson,

children, Marion Kay and Boyd
