The Independence Day festivities took up much of our space, and we neglected to bring you the following happy news from the July 5, 1901 Skidmore Standard, page 4:
Passing by the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Parshall yesterday one could have seen an assembly of people as that was their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary and a large number of friends had been invited in to help them enjoy the occasion.
A table was spread about the noon hour, with all the good things imaginable thereon to which all took part in a way that showed the good health they were enjoying.
