Poundstone – Warren
Fortieth Anniversary

Forty years ago or on Dec 29, 1858, Mr J W Poundstone was united in marriage to Miss Anzaletta Warren at Grand Ridge, Ill. They spent 32 years at that place and then came to Kay county and have lived here continuously for the past eight years. Tuesday they in a manner celebrated the anniversary of their wedding at their home on West Padon avenue. The reception was from 2:30 to 4:30 and from 7 to 9 and during those hours many of the friends from the country and this city called to pay their respects and congratulate them upon the event. Nice refreshments were served and Mr and Mrs Poundstone were assisted in the reception by Mildred Dickerson, Pearl Kistler and Harriet Blake assisted serving the refreshments. They received a number of suitable gifts from friends here and elsewhere. Among the pleasant happenings of the occasion was the receipt of many kind letters and reminders from the former neighbors and friends in and around Grand Ridge, Ill. To Mr and Mrs Poundstone were born eight children six of whom are alive and were with them on Tuesday. Mrs S G Ramler of the country and her husband and two children, Mrs Lloyd Arnold husband and daughter, of Newkirk, Dr G C Poundstone and wife of Chicago, Ill., Thomas R Poundstone and wife of Kansas City, J Arthur Poundstone wife and three children of Newkirk, and Leon Poundstone, unmarried, who is still at home. It was the first time in eight years that the entire family have been together and it was an occasion that all will remember with pleasure. Mr and Mrs Poundstone are most estimable people as are their children and they are very proud of their children and grand children. Mr Poundstone is 66 and his good wife is 59 and it is very likely that they will be spared for yet many more happy anniversaries and we most heartily join with the many friends here in the wish that such may be their lot and that they may be celebrated in Blackwell.
