He married Adelia Ransom of Jackson, February 12, 1880 and just 4 years ago they celebrated their 52nd wedding anniversary. Mrs. Bertram died June of that same year at the age of 73.

He feels that this has been indeed an old fashioned winter and has thorough- ly enjoyed shoveling paths to his chick- en coops. The flock of wild geese that flew over his farm last Thursday made him happy because he is sure that they are trumpeters of spring and he is an- xious to get at his garden. _ But with his farm magazines and papers, his Wilkes-Barre Record and his weekly copy of the Post, he has spent many a cozy evening this winter reading, He was an ardent reader of the Back Mountain biographies that ran in the Post this year and said they seemed like chatting with old friends. He told his daughter “That Post is getting to be a wonderful good paper”. But the Post can’t compete with his Biple for he pours over it patiently and earnestly every day of his life. Those who helped him celebrate his birthday were Mrs. Gertrude Major and children Irene and Allison and Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Ruggles of Shavertown, Mr. and Mrs. W. Ray Stevens of West Dallas and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sutherland of Avoca. Miss Jane Coolbaugh of Dallas was hostess at a birthday party honoring Miss Jeanne Hayden at her home last Thursday evening.
