The always cheerful prothonotary produced the necessary papers which were prepared and signed by Lloyd Rouse, 34, who gave his residence as Raymond, Pa. When the paper was ready for the signature of the prospective bride the officer thought quite naturally the younger of the ladies was to become the wife, but he was mistaken. The older woman, Elizabeth Reigle, 39, stepped forward and placed her name on the document. Then Seymour Rouse, 54, father of Lloyd, presented himself and his bride-to-be, Alverta Reigle, 18, who had to have the consent of her mother, Elizabeth Reigle (never married) to take the serious step of matrimony. When the formality of securing licenses had been concluded the two couples proceeded to the Park M. E. parsonage where Rev. A. M. Dietterich, after some sorting, performed the wedding ceremony. Should a male child be born to Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Rouse. what relation will he he to his Grandfather Rouse who is the husband of his half sister? Is not Seymour Rouse who signs his name with an "X", a brother-in-law of his son who is the husband of his mother-in-law? O, thunder! Make all the problems you want to and then try to solve them. The writer's head aches. But there is one thing we can all do wish these folks joy, happiness, long life and a Merry Christmas. ANNIVERSARY OBSERVED The wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Reed was celebrated at their home Saturday evening. Pinochle was played by the guests until a late hour when a delicious lunch was served to the following: Mr. and Mrs. George Barr, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Reed, Mr.and Mrs. Leo Ostrum, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Sheldon, Mr.and Mrs. Edgar Douty, Mr. and Mrs. Edw. Moran, Mr.and Mrs. Fred Barr and daughter Frances, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Triscuit, Mr. and Mrs. Clare Troutman, Mrs. Melva Carley of Wellsville, and Mr. and Mrs. Francis Reed and daughter. A. R.
