Decatur County Journal
Thursday, August 5, l9l5
One of the most interesting events of the past week was the celebration
at Decatur on last Thursday of the fiftieth wedding anniversary of MR.
and MRS. C.K. CHERRINGTON. The event was a most delightful affair and
all present enjoyed the day and evening very much. MR. and MRS.
CHERRINGTON had a happy day. Their children, with the exception of MRS.
H.C. BRUEGGEN, of Salina, Kansas, were all in attendance and the
resulting reunion of the parents and children made the day doubly
enjoyable. In the evening the neighbors and other friends were
entertained at the CHERRINGTON home from 7 until l0 o'clock.
MR. CHERRINGTON was born in Jackson County, Ohio, July l6, l842, and
MRS. CHERRINGTON was born in the same county August 3l, l844. MR.
CHERRINGTON enlisted in Col, K. 36th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, August 9,
l862, and served two years and eleven months. He was a splendid soldier
and served his country faithfully and well. He was mustered out of
service at Cumberland, Maryland, June 29, l865. He was married at Camba,
Ohio, July 29, l865 to MISS MARY EVALINE JOHNSON. MR. and MRS.
CHERRINGTON moved to Iowa in September l868, and settled at Spring
Valley in this county where they resided for a time and then moved to
the farm now known as the Thomas Sutherlin place south of Decatur on the
road between that place and Davis City. In March l889, they moved to
Decatur where they have since made their home. MR. and MRS. CHERRINGTON
are the parents of ten children all of whom are living with the
exception of HOMER and IDA, who have passed away. All of the children,
now living, were present at the golden wedding anniversary with the
exception of MRS. H.C. BREUGGEN, of Salina, Kansas, who was unable to
attend.
The children and their families gathered at the CHERRINGTON home during
the forenoon and a big family feast was served at twelve o'clock. Those
in attendance at the dinner were MR. and MRS. E. MOORE, of Shenandoah;
MRS. THOMAS GUTHRIE and daughters, CECILE and DALE, and son, WILLARD, of
Blockley; MRS. TINCIE SHELTON and children, of Decatur; MR. and MRS.
J.S. PARRISH and children, of Leon; MR. and MRS. J.A. MCINTOSH and
children, of Leon; MR. and MRS. C.A. CHERRINGTON and children, of Leon;
and WILLARD CHERRINGTON, of Daykin, Nebraska. After the bounteous
dinner had been served those in attendance enjoyed a delightful old time
visit together.
The lawn was beautifully decorated for the event and every arrangement
for the day carefully planned. Music was rendered in the evening by the
Decatur Orchestra. The Orchestra, which is composed of Mrs. Harrington,
Miss Alma Blades, Dorothy Brittan, Glen Riley, Clyde Chamberlain and
Dewey Long, was most capable and entertained the guests pleasantly with
splendid music. There was a song by Bruce Townsend and one by Ruby
Allen which were heartily enjoyed and an excellent recitation by Marie
Tullis.
After the neighbors and other friends to whom a general invitation had
been extended, had gathered at the home, a repetition of the ceremony of
fifty years ago was performed. The wedding march was played by Mrs.
Harrington. MR. and MRS. CHERRINGTON with W.C. Stempel, of Leon, who
officiated at the ceremony in the lead took their places, followed by
their children and grandchildren who formed a half circle around them.
Mr. Stempel then performed a most impressive double ring ceremony, the
gold wedding ring being a gift from the children. their little
granddaughters, PAULINE PARRISH and HELEN MCINTOSH, acted as ring
bearers. MISS GLADYS SHELTON, another granddaughter, presented the
bride with a bouquet of beautiful bride's roses. After the ceremony had
been completed, MR. and MRS. CHERRINGTON received the congratulations of
those present. Dainty refreshments were served and there was more music
by the Orchestra.
MR. and MRS. CHERRINGTON have eight living children, twenty-one
grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
They received many gifts, one of them being $l5 in gold placed in a gold
jewel case and presented to the worthy couple by the business men of
Decatur. The G.A.R. Post of which MR. CHERRINGTON is a prominent
member, presented them with a handsome gold trimmed water set, the
ladies of the W.R.C., of which order MRS. CHERRINGTON is a member, gave
them two beautifully engraved sterling silver spoons, and the ladies of
the M.E. Aid Society, also presented them with two sterling silver
spoons, which were nicely engraved. There were numerous other gifts of
which we did not obtain a list.
The many Leon friends of MR. and MRS. CHERRINGTON extend their hearty
congratulations in which the Journal joins.
