Wilkins Settlement [Chenango Co., NY]: One of the most pleasant and enjoyable occasions which it has been our good fortune to attend, occurred at the pleasant home of Wallace A. Wilkins as a surprise to him on Tuesday, February 17, commemorative of his sixtieth birthday and also of his marriage with Miss Jennette Handy thirty-four years ago. Although the weather was cold and disagreeable outside, the inside was rendered warm and cheery by the presence of more than forty friends and neighbors who had assembled. Rev. and Mrs. McIntyre of Coventryville, braved the cold and bad going to be present. The day was spent socially. A very excellent letter and piece of poetry written in honor of the occasion by Mrs. Ann Cummings of Detroit, a sister of Mr. Wilkins, was read by Mrs. B.W. Parsons as was also one befitting the occasion from Mrs. S. Burr Wilkins of Rockford, Ill. Mrs. Addie Hodge read a fine production from the able pen of Mrs. Augusta Williams; another sister living in Quasqueton, Iowa, and Horace Shephardson favored the company with a very able letter written by S. Burr Wilkins of Rockford, Ill. A parody on the "Old Oaken Bucket", written by Mrs. Jeffery, daughter of Mrs. Cummings, was sung by Mr. and Mrs. H.H. Smith, with Miss Lina Smith at the organ. Mrs. Jeffery in her childhood days occasionally visited with her parents at the home of her uncle here and in a childlike way would substitute the "Old Oaken Wash-Bench," still in use in the family and the subject of this parody, for a table, and would gather the cat and the dog, Jim, around the festive board there to partake of the sumptuous repast which she furnished. At the proper time Mr. Webb was called upon and with a few well chosen words in behalf of the company he presented Mr. Wilkins with a fine rocker, and Mrs. Wilkins with a purse of money as tokens of respect and esteem, which was responded to by Mr. Wilkins. Rev. Mr. McIntyre also made some very suitable remarks. They were also the recipients of several boxes of hose from S. Burr Wilkins of Rockford, Ill. A bounteous dinner was enjoyed by all present. The violin, guitar and organ served to make musical the occasion and at a seasonable hour the happy party returned to their several abodes feeling well paid for their visit and wishing Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins many happy returns of the day.
