Howard Courant
Thursday, October 13, 1938

It is of very rare occurrence that a married couple are spared to reach sixty-five years of life together.  Mr. and Mrs. Chas, Pickell, southeast of Howard, were privileged to celebrate this memorable anniversary date on Sunday, October 9, at their fine country home, with their children and grandchildren present to share in that pleasure with them.  The fine dinner was prepared and brought to the home by the children, and in the afternoon, open house was kept to receive the many friends who desired to call.

At an advanced age, Mr. and Mrs. Pickell have been among our prosperous farmers and it is a pleasure to friends and relatives to feel that they can want for nothing the rest of their lives.  Two grand-daughters, from opposite sides of the country, were here to enjoy the celebration.  They were Mrs. Mae Seimears of Inglewood, California, and Mrs. Geneva Gibson, of Tampa, Florida.

Their children who attended were: Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. George Pickell and family, Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Pickell of Elk Falls, Mrs. Nettie Vick and Mr. and Mrs. Roland Vick of Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Chaffain, of Madison, Kansas, and Mr. and Mrs. L.E. Bird of Elk City, Kansas.

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Pickell came to Elk County from Michigan in 1879.
