Oxford [Chenango Co., NY]: At their home on Mechanic street in this village Monday, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Wheeler celebrated the golden anniversary of their wedding, which occurred February 26, 1862. The interior of their pleasant home was prettily trimmed in crepe paper for the occasion. The color scheme in the parlor was yellow and white, the decorations reaching from the electrolier to the corners of the room, and prominently on the front wall were the dates "1862 - 1912." A white wedding bell hung gracefully from the electrolier and another at the entrance to the dining room the whole making a charming effect. the sitting and dining rooms were similarly trimmed with the exception of the color scheme; the former was pink and white and the latter green and white. The floral decorations were vases of yellow jonquils and carnations. Early in the day the guests began to arrive and soon the rooms were comfortably filled. All were heartily welcomed by the bride and groom of 50 years ago, the latter wearing his brocaded silk wedding vest, which by letting out the strap a hole or two fitted almost as well as it did the day it was made. after dinner had been served a social time was enjoyed, old times were talked over and old friends gone before tenderly recalled to mind. Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler received from their friends a colonial silver tea set, a cosy morris chair and a gold piece, all of which came as a surprise as they had requested in their cards of invitation that presents be omitted. Among those attending from out of town were Mrs. Eva Carrington and son Edward of Auburn; Mr. and Mrs. A.W. Seeley, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Hitchman of Norwich; Mr. and Mrs. Randall Wheeler and Mr. and Mrs. B.A. Flemming of Guilford. Telegrams, letters and postcards were received...[published in the Oxford newspaper of March 1, 1912]
