Crawford - Dean - 50 year anniversary - 1920

GOLDEN WEDDING FOR BURG COUPLE  - Crawfords Have Been Together Fifty Years - 
Just fifty years ago, dating from yesterday, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Crawford, a 
venerable couple residing on West Walnut street (Hollidaysburg, PA), entered the 
connubial state and since that time have been traveling together down life's 
path, with the picture of perfect contentment and joy mirrored on their faces, 
whether traversing the smooth, rose-strewn sections of the long trial or the 
rocky, thorny places.     

The aged pair did not celebrate their golden wedding in an elaborate manner but 
spent the day quietly at home receiving their friends, a number of whom came to 
offer their hearty congratulations, and they also received many messages of this 
kind by card and letter.  Mrs. Crawford has been in ill health for some time but 
her husband is still in good health for one of his age and goes out daily for a 
walk and to see his friends.  Before Mrs. Crawford became ill they attended 
church regularly, rain or shine, both being faithful members of the Presbyterian 
church.     

Mr. Crawford is aged 83 years and was born in Sinking Valley, residing on a farm 
there until fifteen years ago, when he retired and he and his wife came to 
Hollidaysburg to reside.  Mrs. Crawford, who is aged 82, was born in Canoe 
Valley, her maiden name being Nancy J. Dean.  They were married on December 29, 
1870, at Dixon, Ill., and to them were born four children, all of whom are dead 
except one, Mrs. Robert Tussey, of Frankstown township.  The worthy pair have a 
host of friends who sincerely hope the end of the trail is still some in the 
shadowy distance and wish for them continued peace and blessings in their 
remaining days.
