On Tuesday evening, January 20th, sixty friends from Guilford, East Guilford, Rockdale and Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], came and took possession of the residence of Mr. and Mrs. L.S. Manwaring of Guilford, and after depositing bundles and baskets, informed the completely surprised couple that it was the thirty-ninth anniversary of their marriage.  As soon as all had arrived, the younger people withdrew to the spacious rooms above, where they indulged in merry games which always lend so much to the social part of such occasions.  Letters were received from friends who on account of sickness or the distance were unable to attend.  The beautiful collection of presents showed the high esteem in which they are regarded by their friends.  among the presents were a set of silver knives, pair silver gold-lined napkin rings, numerous pieces of glass ware, silver and glass pickle caster, breakfast caster, silver and glass fruit dish, double pickle caster, silver and glass, bed quilt composed of the  thousand four hundred and two pieces, napkins, majolica ware, hand painted china fruit plates, and numerous other articles.  At the usual hour supper was served, and many thanks are due the ladies who so kindly served so elegant a repast.  As hearts were too full for speeches, Mr. and Mrs. M. could only return their thanks for so much kindness and friendly feeling shown them.  At an early hour departure, all agreeing in having spent an enjoyable evening,  May the lives of this worthy couple be spared many more years, and may we all meet "on that great day for which all other days were made." ---A Guest  [Chenango Union, Feb. 5, 1885]
