Mr. and Mrs. John Hall celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary at their
home in Draper on Monday, November 22, 1943. All f;ve of their children were at
home to help make the occasion a most happy one. Mr. Hall has, for many years,
been employed in the Blanket Mill and has an excellent record as a worker and a
citizen. A unique feature of their fifty years together i-s that all of their children
and grandchildren are still living. Their host of friends wish them many more
happy years together.
