Wedding Anniversary (Meek)

Grenola Gazette:  Fifty-seven years ago when A. R. Meek chose Miss Cassie Frank to be his wife, he chose her as she did her wedding gown, for the qualities that would wear well, and his judgement was not misplaced.

At Greenfield, Indiana, January 27, 1873, they were married and left at once, for the then, far West and took a Kansas claim four miles north of where Grenola now stands.  Here these two worthy people raised their family of six children and three of them were at home and helped them celebrate the occasion of their 57th anniversary on January 27th.

Eleven years ago they moved to Grenola and are now enjoying the modern comforts of life.

In honor of the day their daughter Miss Minnie, prepared a delicious 12 o'clock dinner.  Besides the family at home, Mrs. Belle Yates and Mrs. Emma Aubuchon were honor guests.  A special was rendered for them over the Milford radio station.  They also received congratulations from their absent children and friends.

Now that was one cool anniversary. 

"A special was rendered for them over the Milford radio station.  They also received congratulations from their absent children and friends."

I think that was a neat way to wish someone happy anniversary, especially in the '30's.
