GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY-The children of Cle-
burn and Buena Carter would like to invite you to attend their
50th wedding anniversary celebration at the County Line Baptist
Church on Saturday, August 24th, 1996, from 2:00 till 4:00 p.m.
The church is located 4-1/2 miles south of Miller Grove on FM
275. Cleburn and Buena spent their early years in many of the
communities of Rams ana Hunt counties. After their marriage
they moved to Dallas where they raised three children, worked
and resided for forty years. They have since retired and moved
back to what they always considered to be home and live near
the Bonanza community halfway between Emory and Sulphur
Springs. We hope you will come and celebrate this great event
with them and us. Photo contributed
