Marriage

An unusual Social Event occurred on Indian Creek last Monday. It was the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of Mr. & Mrs. D. H. Nichols. This couple was married in 1838 by Esq. McDaniel, the grandfather of your townswoman, Mrs. Z.H. Curtis. There were present on this sixtieth anniversary, four daughters, about twenty grandchildren and three great grandchildren. This worthy pair count among their descendants sixty grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. When the hour arrived to dine there were gathered around the board the father and mother, four sons, four daughters and two visitors, Mr. Montgomery and Mrs. Phillips. The daughters were arranged on one side of the table and the sons on the other, a more healthy and robust family group would be hard to find. Not a man of them used tobacco, nor a woman used snuff. The aged father and mother each took milk instead of coffee. A certain platter on the table had graced Mrs. Nichol’s wedding feast and also the wedding dinner of all of her sisters. On the platter was pictured the fountain of youth and the tomb. This family has given the world three Methodist Preachers and as sturdy and honest set of farmers as any community can boast of. Every son and daughter is a Democrat and a Christian. Long live Father and Mother Nichols! May they live to see their diamond wedding.
