BIRTHDAY AND 
SILVER WEDDING 
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Tappan of Manches- 
ter Celebrated the Twenty-fifth Anniversary 
of Their Wedding Monday, Which Was 
Also Mr. Tappan’s 84th Birthday — Mr. 
Tappan One of the Pioneers of the Great 
West. 
Mr. and Mrs. William Henry Tap- 
pan celebrated at their home on North 
street last Monday, the 25th anniver- 
sary of their marriage, the day being 
doubly significant to Mr. Tappan as 
it was also the occasion of his 84th 
birthday. 
Scores of friends called to extend 
' congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Tappan 
receiving from 2 to 5 and from 7 to 9. 
Mr. Tappan was born in Manches- 
ter Oct. 30, 1821, a son of good old 
New England stock. His parents 
were Col. Ebenezer Tappan and 
Sarah Hooper. A review of his career 
would sound like the reading of a book 
of adventure, so varied have been his 
experiences. 
He was one of the pioneers of the 
great West, one of those who, like 
Fremont and Kit Carson, helped 
blaze the way across the Rockies, and 
MR. AND 
tj 
MRS. WILLIAM HENRY 
of Manchester who celebrated the 25th Anniversary of their wedding Monday. 
he was a factor in carving out the 
future of that great country. 
His adventuresome experiences with 
the savages and hair-breath escapes 
were many. It was before the steam 
engine had plowed its way west of the 
Mississippi and when the _ savage 
Indian tribes held full sway in that 
section that he first went into the 
West, where he spent 30 years of his 
life. 
He first went into the far west in 
1848 and a year later he became a 
guest of the rifle regiment at the solici- 
tation of Secretary of War Crawford 
of Ohio, to enter upon peace negotia- 
tions with the wild tribes in Indiana, 
Oregon, Washington Territory and 
Idaho.. The same year he was ap- 
pointed Indian agent in these states 
and territory. His efforts in attempt- 
ing to make treaties and of extinguish- 
ing the Indians’ title of land, were un- 
availing, for the next year the great 
Indian war broke out and he was com- 
pelled to flee the country, travelling 
1000 miles in the middle of winter 
through the deep snows and the 
mountains to Puget Sound.

First President of the Manchester Club 
The Manchester club, the latest 
social organization in the ‘‘town by 
the sea,” though in existence almost 
two months, came into “actual being ’”’ 
this week, when, on Wednesday even- 
ing, the attractive new quarters in the 
new Blaisdell block were opened. 
The opening was graced with infor- 
mality, and the air usually attending 
an ‘‘opening’”’ was .absent. The 
rooms were filled by members, who 
for the first time had an opportunity 
of inspecting the new quarters. 
The entire floor of the new block is 
used by the club, and the rooms have 
been handsomely furnished. The or- 
ganization was originally intended as 
a business men’s club, but that is not 
strictly adhered to. The clubis made
