Birthday dinner surprise in Curry township joyfully shared
On Sunday the 23d alt. Mrs. Kate Benson of Curry township returned from church to a surprise birthday dinner hosted by neighbors. About fifty people attended, including John Shields and families, with Alf Benson among the children. Josh Dix Jr won a humorous prize for eating the most. A separate note reports Joe Danner's arrest in Mitchell Ind for assault on his parents and a mob scene. A remarkable double golden wedding occurred in Arcadia between Isaac Martz and Moses Martz, twin brothers married to twin sisters Lavina and Tabitha McCormick, both born in Ohio in 1816 and Fayette county respectively, with twelve children total in each marriage. Rev. C. M. Martz of Indianapolis is the youngest son.
