Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McGee celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary, Friday, December 1, at the old homestead where they raised their eleven children to manhood and wymanhood, five girls and six boys. Mr.

and Mrs. McGee have had the struggles and privations that befell the early settlers of their days. They labored and toiled in the trust of God for that which was right and to raise their large family up in the Christian faith and were always ministering to the sick about them. It looked as if all were to be disappointed the day before, as the sky was cloudy and it tried to rain a lit- tle, but, as on many a day in their lives, the clouds dispersed in the darkness and the dawn loomed forth clear and beautiful. The sun cast its radiance upon this home where this old couple anxiously waited for the arrival of their invited guests.

Mr. McGee said: "How much yesterday and today seem like fifty years ago. I started to La Cygne to get my license, the wind so hard I was obliged to dismount and rest before completing the journey. On my arrival the judges office was closed, but I made a search. The judge, was found, and getting my papers, I returned home, it being Saturday.

The next day, as clear and beautiful as today, we were married that day, Sunday." Invitations were sent to the sisters and brothers of Mr. and Mrs. McGee and a few dear friends and near neighbors. There were eighty present. It was thought that their daughter, Orpha Poe, and family, who now reside in Colorado, would not be able to get there, but at the eleventh hour they drove in the yard in their car.

having arrived two days before at Mr. Poe's, near Goodrich, not letting anyone know of their arrival. With hearts overflowing with joy the cooks soon resumed their task, and soon a bounteous feast was ready to be served. The bride and groom of fifty years led the way to the dining room, where two long tables were spread. After dinner the afternoon was too quickly spent in conversation and singing of old hymns, John Mitchell leading the singing.

Besides the immediate family were Mr. and Mrs. J. W. McGee, Henry McGee (his wife being unable to come on account of a fractured hip), Frank McGee and family, Mrs.

Margaret Rownd, a cousin, Mr. and Mrs. John Mitchell, of Osawatomie, Mrs. Leta Scott, of Colorado, Riley Robinson and family, Mr. and Mrs.

Edwin Morrison Adams was born Sturbridge, near Quincy, March 26, 1838, and died at his home in Mound City, December 1922, aged 84 years and 8 months.

While he was still a child his parents moved to Jackson county, where the boy helped his father clear a farm from the oak timber lands. When a youth his venturesome spirit led him to travel through the west, up into Wisconsin and as far west as Kansas. He remained in Iowa two years, teaching school, and then returned to attend a seminary at Howell, Mich. At the outbreak of the Civil war he enlisted as a private in the twentieth Michigan infantry and saw four years of active service, taking part in twenty-eight regular engagements and many skirmishes, including the sieges of Vicksburg and Knoxville and the battles of Antietam, Fredericksburg, the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor and the final desperate fighting around Petersburg and Richmond. He was wounded several times, being shot through the head and left for dead upon the battlefield.

McVean, a widow with one son. Milton J. MoVean. From this marriage two sons were born. In 1883 Mr.

Adams moved with his family to Mound City, and enengaged in the lumber business. For nearly forty years his affections and interests were centered in this community and his efforts were directed toward its upbuilding. He had a strong sense of justice and a keen sense of humor. He was one of the founders of the Missouri and Kansas Lumber Dealers Association and was one of the early presidents of this organization, serving for many years as a member of its board of directors, He was a faithful member of the Grand Army of the Republic. When a young man he joined a lodge of Masons and has filled important offices in all the branches of the order up to and including the Knights Templar.

He was strictly reared in the Presbyterian church, but was generous toward other denominations. He is survivied by his widow and eight children. "Soldier, rest, thy warfare o'er, Sleep the sleep that knows no waking." The following children of E. M. Adams were at his faneral: Mr.
