  • The following appeared on 27 January 1899 in the Geneva Gazette: Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Ayers Celebrate Their Golden Wedding. The completion of 50 years of married life was the occasion of a most delightful event in the handsome residence of Mr. and Mrs. Ayers of Rushville, Tuesday, Dec. 27, 1898.
         That Mr. and Mrs. Ayers have made a host of friends both in Rushville and elsewhere during their long residence here was clearly demonstrated by the many valuable gifts and the many friends who were present and congratulated them on the 50th anniversary of their wedding Tuesday afternoon.
         By the aid of an arch tied with white ribbon and the banking of potted plants, the parlor presented a fairyland appearance. An elaborate dinner was served at 1 P. M. of which between fifty and sixty partook. One of the pretty things of the menu was a cake wreathed with mistletoe and holly, (the gift of Mrs. Keith of Seneca). One of the principal features of the afternoon was a surprise to Mr. Ayers. It came immediately after the refreshments. In well chosen words Rev. W. S. H. Hermans, pastor of the M. E. Church, made a graceful and impressive presentation address. It was a handsomely engraved gold-headed cane, the souvenir of the M. E. Church of Rushville to be handed down in succession to each of the oldest male members of the family. Mr. Ayers responded with brief but touching expressions of trust. Among those who enjoyed the happy event from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. Simon Spangle, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Spangle of Hopewell; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Keith of Seneca; Mr. and Mrs. Beekman D. Staats, Mr. Frank Fisher and son, Roy, Mrs. Stanley Harris, her daughter, Jessie, and son, Alfred of Geneva. Regrets from out-of-town friends were received, accompanied by letters of congratulations.
