Mr. and Mrs. Edward T. Licklider, highly regarded residents of Shepherdstown and lifelong members of our community, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary last Monday evening at their home in this place. The reception in honor of this happy event was a very pleasing occasion, for friends and relatives from far and near gathered to help celebrate their fifty years of wedded life. Their home was crowded all evening, as guests came and went and congratulated the happy couple and partook of the refreshments that had been provided. The house was prettily decorated with fall flowers. The bride and groom received many useful presents and a considerable sum of money in gold. It is a remarkable fact that of the twelve children born and reared by Mr. and Mrs. Licklider, every one of them gathered under the parental roof for this anniversary - the first time all of the family had been together in twenty-five years. The children are Harry T. Licklider, of St. Petersburg, Florida; Miss Mary Licklider, at home: Miss Bess Licklider and Mrs. Ruth Tucker, of Charleston, W. Va.; Charles W. Licklider, of Elizabeth, W. Va.; Mrs. R E Waid, of Parkersburg, W. Va.; Edmund L. Licklider, of Morgantown, W. Va.; Mrs. W. H. Morrow, of Hagerstown, Md.; Mrs. R. W Morrow, of Scrabble, W. Va.; Mrs. J T Morrow, Moler's, W. Va.; Mrs. G. J Manuel, of Shenandoah Junction, W. Va.; Mrs. J. E Liddle, of Nemours, W. Va. This family reunion of parents and all of their children was an especially notable one. Mr. Edward T. Licklider and Miss Helen Virginia Entler were married October 26, 1876, in Martinsburg, by Rev. M. L. Culler, of the Lutheran Church. In all the years that have passed they have been faithful and devoted to each other, sharing together the joys and sorrows that fell to their lot, always possessing the respect and esteem of all who have known them. Both are still active and in excellent health, and we join with their friends in the hope that as the evening shadows draw near they may always see the light beyond, treading the path that will lead them in happiness to the joyful ending. - Shepherdstown Register.
