The fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of Presiding Elder Griffin and wife, Rozella Lamoure, was celebrated in an auspicious manner last Saturday afternoon and evening in the parlors of the Oneonta Methodist church. There were several hundred people in attendance, most of the clergymen of his district being present with ministers from various sections. A beautiful feature of the reception was the presence of Mrs. Griffin's mother, aged ninety years, who assisted in receiving the guests. Dr. and Mrs. Griffin received many beautiful and expensive gifts, including rare china, paintings, and of gold coin the amount will reach several hundred dollars. The pastors of the Oneonta district united in a substantial purse which was no inconsiderable sum. [Bainbridge Republican, Feb. 6, 1908]
