Marriages (January 4)

-Rev. & Mrs. T.F. Hall
25th Anniversary
 
The Oneonta Star  in its issue of Monday has the following account of a surprise given to Rev. and Mrs. T.F. Hall which is reproduced for the benefit of his many friends in this vicinity:
 
"Saturday was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the marriage of Rev. and Mrs. T.F. Hall and, during the day, they accepted an invitation to dine with Rev. and Mrs. H.O. McDermott at six o'clock.  When they departed, the latter couple suggested that they all step into the parlors of the Methodist Episcopal church, to which the unsuspecting couple consented.  They found nearly three hundred of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Hall, mostly members of the local church.  After all had had an opportunity to extend congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Hall were invited to a corner of the lecture room where were a handsome sideboard and silver tea set.  Pastor McDermott then, in a happy speech, presented the gifts to the estimable couple in behalf of local friends.  Rev. W.S. Adams of Laurens then, in behalf of the preachers of the Oneonta district tendered a pudding dish, nut dish, water pitcher and goblet and a flower stand all in silver.  Mr. Hall responded feelingly, evidencing the complete surprise and expressing their appreciation of the kindly feelings manifested.  Refreshments were served and the evening passed very pleasantly.  Owing to the anniversary falling on Saturday many of the district pastors who desired to attend were unable so to do.  Rev. J. S. Crompton of Unadilla and Rev. S. Moore of Wilkesbarre, Pa. were present.  Mr. Hall is doing excellent work in the Oneonta district and many friends, where ever he and Mrs. Hall are known, will rejoice that the Oneonta church friends and the various pastors have given this expression of their regard.
