Birthday DinnerWolfe City, June 30th
The children, grandchildren and relatives and friends of Mr. L.C. Rodham, formerly of this place, with a birthday dinner at his home in Rains county, near Emory, last Monday June 22nd, same being his 65th birthday. They all gathered at 10 oclock with well filled baskets. Mr. Rodham, returning from Emory a little latter, was surprised at the gathering, some of whom he had not seen in several years. At noon dinner was spread out on tables under a large shad tree. Dinner was announced and Mr. Rodham, leading to the dining room, found nothing there. He was then led out into the yard where he found the table groaning under the load of chicken, salads, cakes, pies and other things too numerous to mention, of which he had a greater surprise than when the crowd gathered. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. W.O. Brown and son, J.W.; Mr. and Mrs. J.J. Rodham; Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Rodham; Mrs. L.D. Freeman and children, Alice Andra and Marley, Wolfe City; Mr. and Mrs. Rubert White, Bailey; Mrs. Elmer Nutt and children, Greenville; Mrs. Claud Willis and son, Royse City; Mrs. Gene Evans and son, Alba; Mrs. Annie McCord and little Miss Minnie Margurett and Dorris Hughes of San Antonio; Master L.C. and little Miss Laverne Rodham; Mr. and Mrs. L.C.
