About one hundred and fifty relatives and friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earnest Gibson, northeast of Howard, to help them celebrate their Golden Wedding anniversary, Sunday afternoon.

Ruby, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Blankenship, and Earnest, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Gibson, pioneer residents of Paw Paw township, were united in marriage on June 5, 1906, and made their home on the Gibson farm, where the groom was born and where they have lived all their wedded life.

Mr. Gibson has been a farmer and stockman, specializing in Polled Hereford cattle.  They were remembered by many gifts and cards from far and near and the entire community was happy to honor this fine couple. Their one son, Jerry Gibson, and two granddaughters, Janice and Joyce, were present for the happy occasion.
