Honor Worleys On Silver Anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Worley, who were married 25 years ago, celebrated the
silver event with an open house at their home Sunday, when over 125
friends and relatives called to fete the couple.
The Worleys received many unexpected but lovely gifts and congratulatory cards, also a silver coin tree.
Twenty-one years ago the couple purchased a house on Freemont St. and through the wonderful team work which they have experienced throughout their 25 years of happily married life, have established a real home where they welcome friends at any time.
The bride of 25 years ago greeted her guests in a dress of pink sheer and wore a corsage of white carnations, the groom's boutonniere was a white carnation, gifts of their daughters, Mrs. Lester (Dorthea Mae) Guritz and Mrs. Clyde (Norma Lee) Zark, and granddaughter Linda Guritz.
Comparing their appearance pictured on their wedding day with their appearance on their Silver Anniversary, it was agreed that after 25 years of happiness they were looking younger. Elmer and Blanche are looking forward to another celebration 25 years hence, when they mark their 50th anniversary.
The lovely decorations and refreshments were arranged by the couple's sisters, Mrs. Shelia Henry and Mrs. John C. Brown, and their two daughters.
