Shock, Mr./Mrs. M.R. (Gold – 25 JUN 1972)

Family and friends gathered at the Stanley Church of the Brethren on Sunday afternoon, June 25, 1972, to celebrate the Golden Wedding Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Shock of Stanley.

Attending morning worship at the Church of the Brethren with the couple were their children, Mrs. Albert R. Wayne, Mr. and Mrs. W. Dean Shock, James A. Shock, and Dr. Norman R. Shock. Seven of their ten grandchildren, and Mrs. Fred Mitchell, attendant of fifty years ago, were also present.

The reception buffet table was centered with a four tiered cake adorned with yellow and gold roses, and topped with the golden wedding bell. Mrs. Sig Sneen poured the coffee, Miss Kim Shock presided at the punch bowl, Miss Loren Wayne, Miss Dana Salander served cake, and Miss Jill Shock was in charge of the guests book.

An informal program was presented, with Anton Long and Mrs. Fred Mitchell performing an amusing and nostalgic skit in their inimitable manner. Dr. Norman Shock and Mr.s Mitchell also sang several old and loved hymns, with piano accompaniment by Mrs. Hazel Miles. A clarinet solo was contributed by Miss Jill Shock. The Shocks will long remember the enjoyable time of visiting with friends and family.
