Ashland Clipper, March 20, 1913
Thirty of the children, grand-children and Great grand-children of Mr. and
Mrs. Daniel Burkett assembled at the home of Mrs. John W. Severe in this city
last Monday to celebrate the Sixtieth Wedding anniversary of the old people. It
was intended to have all of the near relatives here, but some were unable to
attend, so it is contemplated to have another meeting in the near future.
Think what a stretch of years these old people have lived together as man and
wife! Few ever life so long even, and now few ever live to celebrate their
sixtieth anniversary.
Contemplate the many luxuries you now enjoy that have been brought to perfection
since they were married. The telephone, the phonograph, the auto and others
innumerable.
They are splendid old people and all wish them yet another long stretch of years
with us.
Those present were, Mr. and Mrs. I. B. Burkett, Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Gribble and
children, Mrs. Julia A. Coons and Mrs. Claudia Hill and children.
