paning the gift was the following 
verses by Mrs. Bray: 
“To GOoRHAN Davis AND SUSAN 
ADELAID Davis: May this day, Tues- 
day, October 20, 1914, be 
“Golden with the memories cast 
O’er the still receding past; 
Backward to the golden prime 
Of joyous bridal time, 
When from younger lips than now 
Gently breathed the marriage vow; 
And the bridegroom and the bride, 
Heart in heart, as side by side 
Saw the gates of life unfold 
To the promised Age of Gold.” 
“Accept from Aunt Maria this 
token of remembrance, and with 
kindly greetings, I wish you contin- 
ued years of happiness that shall 
bring peace serene and sweet.”
