Mr. and Mrs. Ward Burchard of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on St. Valentine's Day. On Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L.D. Dexheimer was held a delightful party to celebrate the occasion. there were 60 people present including two of the Burchards' children, Mrs. Mabel Burchard, of Utica, and Mrs. Vernon Beyea, of Susquehanna, Pa. Their son, Guy, of Ilion was unable to be present. The Rev. Phillip Pearson congratulated the happy couple, expressing everyone's wishes for many more happy years. Dr. A. H. Evans presented them with a valentine purse and recalled many instances of their married life. A beautiful decorated three-tiered wedding cake and fruit punch was served. The spacious rooms of the Dexheimer home were filled with vases of daffodils and other spring flowers. Mr. and Mrs. Burchard were a striking couple as they received their guests. Mrs. Burchard wore a maroon colored velvet and a beautiful orchid as a corsage, and Mr. Burchard a carnation boutonniere given to them by their children. The Burchards were married in Oxford, and have made their home in Guilford for 57 years. Their valentine purse, when all their cards were opened, some coming the day following, totaled $153.25. Present from out of town, besides their two children were Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Wackford and Mrs. Kenneth Wackford, of Oxford; Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Stead and sons, of White Store, and G.A. Richards, of Sidney. The only touch of sadness that marked the occasion was the passing of Mrs. Alice Nicholson, a very close friend through the years. Mrs. Nicholson had so hoped to be well enough to attend, but she was called away. Another dear friend, Mrs. C. Adella Anthony, of Norwich, was unable to come, due to ill health. There is a little clipping entitled "Love Your Mate," that seems to have followed the Burchards through the years. It reads like this: "Love in marriage must be something more than a vagrant will-o'-the wisp. Out of mutual respect can grow a mysterious thing akin to the most enduring friendship. It is companionability; it is psychic unity. It thrives on shared interests, interplay of personality, kinship of ideas, fond sympathy for each other's work and problems--such affentional things can grow as the honeymoon fevers subside. Lovers who are capable of becoming friends can be married and stay so for a long time." Many friends heard the announcement of the Burchards' 60th wedding anniversary on the radio Tuesday morning and again at noon. [Bainbridge News & Republican, Feb. 22, 1945]
