Golden Wedding in Whitfield Family Celebrates 50 Years
The Whitfields mark their fiftieth anniversary at home on December 10 1856 with family and friends from Sunflower City and nearby towns. The event honors long years of partnership, hospitality, and devotion as Mrs. Whitfield and Mr. Whitfield enter their seventy twos and sixty eights respectively, with multiple relatives and long-serving cooks noted for loyalty and fond memories. A separate obituary notices the passing of E F Starr aged forty nine, husband to Lou Nickolson, leaving four children and his mother behind.
