Mr. & Mrs. Edwin M. Haynes

25th Wedding Anniversary

Chenango Union, January 6, 1881

There was a pleasant gathering of neighbors and friends at the residence of Edwin M. Haynes, in the town of Oxford [Chenango Co., NY], on Saturday afternoon last, January 1st, the occasion being the observance of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Haynes.  January 1st, 1856, Mr. Haynes, then as now a resident of the town of Oxford, married Miss Ruby Keach, of Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], both of whom were born and reared in the vicinity of their present home, where they have for a quarter of a century shared each others joys and sorrows, and when their united labors have been rewarded by a competency.  The spacious rooms of the homestead, recently enlarged and refitted, were thrown open to the guests, and when dinner was announced, upwards of sixty were seated at the tables in the dining room, which were loaded with an abundance of good cheer.  The "inner man" satisfied, the party returned to the parlors, where Rev. W.R. Baldwin made brief but appropriate remarks, alluding to the changes which twenty-five years have wrought, and congratulating the host and hostess upon their deserved success in life.  He was followed by Dr. Foote, J.S. Shattuck, Kinyon Terry and Dea. S. Root.  Mr. Haynes feelingly responded.  The happy couple were the recipients of many valuable presents, designed both for ornament and utility, and the more prized by them as testimonials of friendship and esteem from old and tried friends, many of whom were the associates of their youthful days. As evening approached the assemblage separated for their respective homes, each well pleased with the occasion which had proved so enjoyable.  In the evening the parlors were again filled by a party of young people, who kept up the enjoyment until a late hour.  Taken all in all, it was a pleasant anniversary, and a Happy New Year.
