Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Marshall, well known residents of this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], were pleasantly surprised last Wednesday evening, September 23, when a few relatives and friends arrived at their home to help them celebrate their sixtieth wedding anniversary.  Brightened with flowers, given by friends and neighbors in honor of the event the home was the scene of a most joyous occasion with games and music furnishing an evening of entertainment long to be remembered.  Refreshments were served and a substantial gift presented to Mr. and Mrs. Marshall by their guests.  Many couples have celebrated golden weddings, but to have lived a life of happiness together for sixty years is a goal which few reach.  Mr. Marshall came to Bainbridge when a lad of fourteen and learned the trade of a cabinet maker, serving his apprentice under the skillful teaching of Nelson Pettys, who years ago conducted a shop in Newton avenue, a trade in which he became very adept.  Although he celebrated his 81st birthday on September 9, Mr. Marshall still continues to work at his shop in lower Pearl street, turning out work which would be a credit to a much younger man.  Mrs. Marshall, while nearly seventy-nine years of age, continues to carry on the duties of her home in a very efficient manner.  Bainbridge is proud of these citizens who have spent nearly a lifetime here and their many friends extend congratulations and best wishes for a continued life of happiness.  [Bainbridge News & Republican, Oct. 1, 1936]
