CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING
  
An event of more than usual interest took place at Upper Lake last Monday August 
9th when the members of the Bucknell family gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. 
Robert Bucknell to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary. Sixteen persons 
were present, all members of the immediate family except one aunt, Mrs. John 
Alley, who was married the same day Mr. and Mrs. Bucknell were, but whose 
husband is dead. Mr. and Mrs. Alley were married in Gravelly Valley early in the 
morning and after the ceremony drove to Upper Lake to attend the wedding of Mr. 
and Mrs. Bucknell. 
The five Bucknell children furnished the dinner of turkey, chicken, cakes, etc., 
and Roy Bucknell, the youngest child, sat between his father and mother with one 
of his two children on either side of him. At the close of the meal Roy arose 
and read a short poem appropriate to the occasion, after which his children in 
turn presented their grandfather and grandmother each $50 in gold on a gold 
rimmed plate, at the same time reciting a short verse. The afternoon was spent 
on the lawn where ice cream was served. One interesting fact about the Bucknell 
family is that there has never been a death in it to mar the happiness of its 
members. While the day will never be repeated it will always be remembered and 
cherished by those present.
