Historical Society member Luella Hinrichsen, poring over old editions of the Argus in search of obituaries, came across the lovely story about a special anniversary.
TABLE ROCK ARGUS, July 11, 1924.
Wedded Long, Long Ago- On July 3, 1870 a wedding ceremony was performed which united the loves of two Table Rock young people. So tightly was the knot tied that all the storm and stress of the intervening years have not been able to break it, and the husband and wife are living together today in contented and happy old age in Table Rock.
The contracting parties to this wedding of fifty-four years ago were George M. Lane and Miss Clara Cooper, popular young people of this community, and members of prominent pioneer families of the community.
George had a fine team of horses, but no buggy, and so he went to C. H. Norris, who owned the only buggy then in Table Rock, hitched his own horses to it and in pride and happiness the young couple took their honeymoon trip....
They commenced life together on a farm west of Table Rock. For the past quarter of a century or more they have lived in town having retired from the farm.
Since they began life together they have always lived here in Table Rock, their children were born and grew to manhood and womanhood here, and two of them- Charley and Mrs. Gibbs- still live here, while Mrs. Parker lives at Wymore.
They realize that time has wrought great changes in conditions in Table Rock and Nebraska, for they have lived through them in the years of their married life, and as they go on down the journey of life hand in hand it is the hope of their many friends that joy and happiness will follow them to the journey's end.
George died in 1925 at age 76, Clara in 1931 at age 77. When they married in 1870, George was 21 and Clara 16.
