Reception
Saturday night, Mrs. Goode gave a reception at the Palace Hotel in honor of the marriage of Wm. Rawlings and Miss Jennie Shannon. Fifty-seven persons partook of the refreshments, consisting of coffee, fruit, cake and confectionery. After supper the dining hall was cleared and those who felt inclined indulged in dancing. A cake containing a ring and a darning needle was cut and distributed among the young folks. Tora Bowman got the ring and hence is hooked for the next wedding. J.D. Imboden got the needle which dooms him to darn his own socks in lonely old bachelorhood much to the disappointment of a certain fair lady of this vicinity, whose name, out of consideration for her feelings, we omit to mention.
FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY
Rev. and Mrs. John H. Aughey pass
The 40th. Milestone of married
Life Jan. 22nd.
On the evening of the 22nd. Many of the friends of Rev. and Mrs. John H. Aughey united in a conspiracy to surprise them, it being the 40th. anniversary of their wedding. The surprise was a complete success, and when they returned from the Hotel Kemp where they had been invited for supper they found their home in possession of their friends who welcomed them with hearty good cheer. Considerable time was pleasantly spent in social intercourse, when refreshments were served. After partaking of the delicacies provided for the occasion, a brief program consisting of prayer, songs, reading and speechmaking were carried out. The many presents were brought forward and in a few words indicative of the high esteem of the donors for the recipients, they were presented, Rev. Aughey, for himself and estimaine wife responded with words that were an index of the kindly feeling entertained for the givers, when all joined in chanting softly "Shall we meet beyond the river?" After this song and a general handshake all round the company dispersed. Those present were Mesdames Mulhall, Burford, Keifer, Riley, Estus, Scarr, Kemp, Rotterman, Wise, Davis and Miss Jennie Brown; Messrs. Brown, Mordy, Barford, Estus, Rotterman, Scarr.
Rev. John H. Aughey was born in New Hartford, N.Y. May 8th, 1828 , graduated from Franklin College, New Athens, Ohio in 1851 and engaged in teaching in the South till 1856 when he entered the ministry as pastor of Bethany Presbyterian church at Iuka, Miss. He was married to Miss Mary J. Paden of Iuka, Miss. On Jan. 22, 1857. In 1862 he was arrested in northern Mississippi on account of his strong and freely expressed Union sentiments, and was sent to Geo. G.P.T. Beauregard at Tupelo, Miss. Where he was imprisoned for about 18 months. Finally condemned by Gen. Bragg to be hanged, he twice made his escape, the first time being recaptured and firmly manacled, he still succeeded after long and fearful suffering, in making his escape and reaching the Union lines carrying with him a trophy and which he still keeps, the iron manacles which bound him for a time to the Southern Confederacy. He afterward served two years as chaplain, first in the Army of the Potomac and later in the west.
Rev. Aughey came to Oklahoma as a missionary in January 1891 and has labored in this field ever since. He has probably organized more churches and done more to extend the cause of Presbyterianism in this territory than any other minister here. He has been pastor of the church at Mulhall since 1892 which position he still holds.
Three children were born of this marriage, one son and two daughters only one of which is now living-the wife of Dr. J.H. Stanton of Chariton, Iowa.
Maude, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dally died Sunday night and was buried Monday.
