Twas Fifty Years Ago
Warren W. Benton and Wife Celebrate Their Golden Wedding Anniversary
Happy Hosts, Happy Guests and a Happy Occasion - May We All Attend Their Diamond Anniversary

It is doubtful if the handsome Benton residence on Armory Hill ever presented a happier appearance or witnessed a more delightful event than that of Tuesday evening, April 14, which celebrated the fiftieth wedding anniversary of Warren W. Benton and Miriam L. Huntley; April 14, 1853 they were married at Londonderry, Vt.; and April 14. 1963 a large company of invited guests greeted them and congratulated them upon the health and strength and prosperity which permit this golden wedding anniversary.
