rendered. Music was furnished by the Bear choir and band. Talks were
given by Rev. Jahren and Mr. Boe, and a very pleasant afternoon was enjoyed.

when they moved to Grand Meadow, where they have since resided.
They were blessed with twelve children, of which two are
dead, one a boy of four years, and a daughter, Mrs. Martin Simonson, who
died two years ago. The other children are: Halvor, who lives on the old
Hanson farm, Mrs. Ed Simonson, Mrs. Andrew Lee, and Mrs. Clara Kuhl, of
Grand Meadow, Elvin, who lives at Lansing, Minnesota, Mrs. Ed. Dalen, of
Minneapolis, Mrs. Albert Berg, of Spring Valley, Minn., Mrs. Christie

great-grandchildren also bless this family. All were present except
seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
The children presented Mr. and Mrs. Hanson with a purse
of $50.00 in gold. The wedding table was prettily decorated with white
roses and gold colored chrasanthemums. The wedding cake was placed in a
circle of fifty burning candles.
Mr. and Mrs. Hanson have both been intenseley interested
in the work of the church, both local and general. Mr. Hanson was Sunday
Schoool Superintendent for many years, also choir director and deacon of
Bear Creek Church for about 20 years. Mrs. Hanson's brother and one sister
and Mr. Hanson's brother have also celebrated their golden wedding
anniversary.
It is our hope that Mr. and Mrs. Hanson may enjoy many
more years of wedded life. They have in a silent but effectual way wielded
an influence for good and for the uplift of the community.

walks and streets were deep with snow and traveling was difficult. But it
was quite necessary that the W. R. Corps should meet according to apointment
at G.A.R. hall for practice preparatory to inspection. So the president,
Mrs. Caswell Fairbanks had to be there and it was natural that her husband
Many of the G.A. R. veterans and their wives
were among the guests. About five o'clock, the company sat
down to a sumptuous banquet. As a preliminary, Rev. C. D. Belden, who
acted as master of ceremonies, made an address of congratulations to Mr.

We reproduce the picture published at that time, of the four generations, Mrs. Caswell Fairbanks, the daughter, Mrs. Jennie B.
