Johnson, Mr./Mrs. Ernest D. (60th - 6 APR 1964)

Mr. and Mrs. Ernest D. Johnson celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary at the home of their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Carl W. Johnson, Second Av., Stanley.

During the open house over 200 relatives and friends called to congratulate the honored couple and give them a purse of money, many gifts, floral bouquets and plants. A buffet lunch was served, with Donna Endru, a granddaughter, pouring.
