Gilboa Couple Wed Twenty-five Years Given Surprise
Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Hubbard were greatly surprised when a number friends and relatives came to help them celebrate their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary August 25, 1928. After congratulating Mr and Mrs. Hubbard, a buffet lunch was served after which Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard were presented with chest of silver.
The evening was spent with music and singing. Those present at the happy event were: Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Hubbard and family, Clifton, Earl, Lorraine, Evelyn, Ina Belle and Winifred, Mrs. Ann Hubbard, Mr. and Mrs. John Hubbard, Mr. and Mrs. Merel Hubbard, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Ellis and daughter, Doris, Grover Haner, all of Gilboa; Mr. and Mrs. Geil Spencer and son, Kieran Orin of Mackey; Mr. Amos Flint of Athens; Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hyatt and son, Robert, and Mrs. Charlotte Hyatt of Ellenville; Mr. and Mrs. Gamalia Hasbrouck and sons, Steve, Leonard and Allen of Milton.
All left at a late hour wishing Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard many more years of happy married life.
Uncle Merel, 22, and Aunt Madeline Hubbard Ellis 24, were marred. Doris Ellis, the only grandchild at the time, was two years old. My Dad, Clifton was 20, Earl 18, Lorraine 16, Evelyn 13, Ina Belle 12, and Winifred 6.
Mr. and Mrs. John Hubbard were Elmer’s brother and wife. The rest of the guests were mostly distant relatives, some by marriage. Their names are familiar but I have no clear recollection of them. Here is a picture of the whole family several years later with more grandchildren:
