A Birthday Celebration
A Birthday Celebration.
William H. Lowden was happily surprised on his 71st birthday, Jan. 9, at is home in Augusta, by his many relatives. They came in upon him in such a deliberate fashion that it took him sometime to recover his usual equilibrium. The following families were participants: Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Sherwood, son and daughters, Mr. and Mr. James Lowden and daughter, F. A. Graves and family, Mrs. Eleanor Rogers, of Ann Arbor; Mrs. Adelbert Wain, Mr. and Mr. Slayton, Mr. and Mr. Wm. Collar, Messrs. Alpheus and James Graves and families, Elmer Sanderson and family. A delicious dinner was served by the ladies of the company and old time stories were related and jokes were free as in harvest time. All enjoyed a pleasant time and went to their respective homes feeling that the day had been well spent in trying to bring a little sunshine into the lives of others.
