A Golden Wedding celebration at the home of Dr. and Mrs. S. W. Robinson near Gosden Springs Mississippi marks fifty years of marriage. Prominent physician Dr. Robinson and wife Jennie Johnson Robinson receive family, friends, and gifts as they recall youth, devotion, and a long, shared life.
Dr. Robinson and his wife marked a golden anniversary with family and friends. Granddaughter Jennie Ellis read a heartfelt poem “After Fifty Years” as tears flowed. Dr. J E Noble offered warm congratulations. The gathering included a lavish antebellum style dinner and music, ending with Home Sweet Home as guests departed.
Though tinged with sadness, the parting guests offered many good wishes for the doctor and his family. They hoped the leaving moments would become a happy station and that the years ahead would temper experience with spring in the mind, love renewing the heart, and never growing old.
