The Samson J. MCKENZIE home on Olinger Street was the scene of a most pleasant and enjoyable event last Sunday when this well known and highly esteemed couple celebrated their golden anniversary. Upon this occasion their nine children, with their families, and other relatives and intimate and other relatives and intimate friends, enjoyed a bountiful feast at the MCKENZIE home, remaining throughout the afternoon and evening in the enjoyment of the fellowship of their honored parents and others who were present at the pleasant event. Also, during the afternoon and evening Mr. and Mrs. MCKENZIE held "open house" when hundreds of people from town and vicinity called upon the aged couple and felicitated them upon the celebration of their half-century of connubial bliss.
Samson MCKENZIE is the son of the late Ambrose and Lydia MCKENZIE of Greenville Township, and Mrs. MCKENZIE, prior to her marriage was Miss Barbara EBAUGH, a daughter of the late Rineholt and Victoria EBAUGH who resided on the western slope of the Allegheny Mountain in Summit Township.
They were united in marriage in the old Catholic Church edifice, a portion of which is still standing on the corner of Main and Cherry Streets, by the late Rev. D.J. GALLAGHER. Following the ceremony they located on what is known as the Gumbert farm in Greenville Township, continuing the farmer's calling until 31 years ago, when they located in Meyersdale, in the dwelling in which they now reside, which they purchased from the Meyersdale Planing Mill Company. For a number of years after locating in town, Mr. MCKENZIE followed the occupation of coal mining. Later he entered the employ of his son, Thomas A. MCKENZIE and has since been assisting him in the conduct of his grocery store.
Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. MCKENZIE and all were present at the celebration on Sunday, as follows: Mrs. Mollie SHAFFER, formerly of Mt. Savage, Md., but a resident of Meyersdale since the death of her husband several years ago; Thomas A. MCKENZIE, Simon P. MCKENZIE, John MCKENZIE of Meyersdale; Robert MCKENZIE, all of Meyersdale; Catherine, who is Mrs. Clarence GIPE of Chicago; Mrs. Andrew Gates of Altoona; Leo MCKENZIE of Meadville; and Edward MCKENZIE of Somerset. There were also eleven grandchildren, all of whom were present with their parents.

They have ever proven themselves kind and indulgent parents, helpful neighbors, the best and most loyal of citizens and they are most highly esteemed by those who know them best. It is the wish of all that they may be spared to celebrate the next major anniversary in their wedded lives.
