THE REV. DR. AND MRS. THADDEUS AINSLEE CHEAT
HAM, in the electric golf car presented them by their many
friends in Pinehurst, on the occasion of their Golden Wedding An
niversary. The beloved rector emeritus of The Village Chapel
hnd his bride of 1904 were the honor guests of Mr. and Mrs. Rich
ard D. Chapman at a reception at their home on Sunday, April
4, at which time they were the recipients of evidence of the
esteem in which they are held. In addition to the car, each was
presented with a gold wrist watch and a 50-year-old $20 gold-
piece, and together were handed a check, all the gifts of Sandhills
friends and associates.
Although the anniversary of their marriage in Helena, Ark.,
was on Wednesday of last week, April 7, the event was observed
the previous Sunday, with Dr. Cheatham preaching at a service
in his honor at The Village Chapel in the morning, and by the
gathering of a few old friends at the Chapman home in the late
afternoon. Dr. and Mrs. Cheatham are seen above in their new
car, flanked by Mr. and Mrs. Chapman.
