86th Anniversary.

Mrs. Lucy Holmes, wife of late Arthur L. Holmes, of Stoughton, observed her 86th birthday anniversary Wednesday 19 April 1941 at her home. The mailman brought many messages from friends and neighbors called. In the afternoon the choir of Trinity Episcopal church tendered her a surprise and showered her with remembrances, also rendered a programme of music, assisted by the musical talent of Mrs. Laura Shafer Gebhardt. 

They then served refreshments, assisted by Mrs. Blanche Barry, who was hostess of the occasion. The birthday cake was also in evidence and was shared by all.

Mrs. Holmes, a native of this town, still commands the use of her faculties, enjoying good health. She has the best wishes of the townspeople for many more happy anniversaries.
