ETIWANDA

CELEBRATION OF A GOLDEN WEDDING

Friends Gather For a Happy Reunion Event at the Henderson Home

Etiwanda, CA on March 28, 1912 - (Staff correspondence of the San Bernardino Sun News )

Mr. and Mrs. D.G. Henderson of Etiwanda celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding today at their home, surrounded by relatives, and all but one of their ten children, and 25 grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson have resided in Etiwanda for many years and were previously residents of San Bernardino, where their wedding occurred, their families being among the early settlers of the valley. A special guest of honor at today's notable gathering was Mrs. Charlotte Hawker of San Bernardino, the mother of Mrs. Henderson, who will tomorrow celebrate her 89th birthday. A celebration feast was served at noon, two huge turkeys being features and a 12-pound fruit cake, with a special wedding cake also. The decorations were profuse, long branches of Lady Banksia roses, in white and gold and mountain ferns being used about the rooms with Marie Henriette roses. A number of pictures of the company and the group of grandchildren and the children of Mr. and Mrs. Henderson were made by Artist Shagner of San Bernardino. A number of gifts were received, the sons having presented a handsome gold clock and the mother of Mrs. Henderson, a beautiful gold sugar spoon. Mrs. Sinclair of Rock Creek was the only one of the couple's children unable to be present, being detained at home by illness. The others present were William, Robert, Walter, Alex, David, Grover and Earl Henderson, and Mrs. Nettie Perdew and Mrs. James Anderson of Highland, with their families. Mrs. Victor Delor of San Bernardino, sister of Mrs. Henderson, was a guest also.
