Golden Wedding Anniversary Told by Sullivan Pioneer
The fifty year marriage of James Russell McKinley and Nancy A Gobin is celebrated at their daughter Mrs Cuthbert Sherman’s home. McKinley recalls Sullivan county’s early days, railroad arrival in 1853, first streets, churches, a 1854 drought, flat boating, distilleries at Carlisle, and the town’s development. He helped lay out streets and watched Sullivan grow from a swampy site to a bustling center.
