CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING
Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Lakin celebrated Their 50th Anniversary on Wednesday
HAVE LIVED HERE FIFTY YEARS
Wednesday, Jan. 11th, 1906, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Lakin near Ellsworth occurred the most enjoyable day of the season when they celebrated their fiftieth anniversary of their married life. After greeting the guests Mr. Lakin announced the arrival of the time to surround the table spread with the most abundant provisions that time and money could produce. After dinner old time reminiscences and incidents of the early days of the oldest settlers, many of whom were present, were discussed. Dr. Barkalow, of Ellsworth, was brought forward and with a most interesting talk bestowed Mr. and Mrs. Lakin with the presents.
Uncle Brint and Aunt Abbie with the kindest thanks shook hands with the guests numbering sixty and many good wishes were mutually given.
Mr. and Mrs. Lakin were married at Blackberry Station, Ill., on Jan. 11, 1855, and moved to this locality in June of the same year and have resided here ever since.
There were fourteen children born to them, eight of whom are still living, as follows: Oscar, of Auburn, Sac County; Henry, who lives near Sac City; Melvin who has lived out in the state of Washington for the last 18 years; Ben, who lives north of Ellsworth; Mrs. Addie Stolp, of Jewell; Mrs. Abbie Lakin, of Ellsworth, and Adelia and Glen who still live at home. All the children were at the wedding anniversary Wednesday except Melvin.
Mr. Lakin was born in Pike county, Penn., on June 25, 1835, and will be 70 years old next June. He is hale and hearty and is as active as most people of 50 years. His folks left Pennsylvania when he was a mere child and came to Illinois where they took a claim 50 miles west of Chicago. Mr. Lakin left Illinois the summer after he was married and came to Iowa and took up a claim in this vicinity.
Mrs. Lakin was born in Canada in 1838 and will be 67 years old on June 17 next. Mrs. Lakin has not been in the best of health the past few years, but she is still quite active for a lady of her age.

A second article on the Golden Wedding of Brinton A. Lakin and Abigail Fuller was printed in the Webster City Journal, 23 February 1905. It reads as follows:
CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING
Fifty years of married life in Hamilton county is the record of Mr. and Mrs. Brinson (sic) A. Lakin, of Ellsworth, who recently celebrated their golden wedding at that place. Only a month after their wedding the couple moved to Hamilton county and have made their home at Ellsworth or in the vicinity ever since. The couple are well known to all Hamilton county residents and are numbered among the most popular of the old residents.
Brinson (sic) A. Lakin married Miss Abigail Fuller at Blackberry, Ill., January 11, 1855. With the spirit of the pioneer the couple set out for Iowa soon after their marriage. They settled in Hamilton, then Webster county, within two miles of their present homestead.
Fourteen children have been born to them, but six of these they have laid away in the Iowa prairie. Of the eight surviving children all but one, who resides in Washington, were present at the anniversary.
The old couple, who have spent their lives since June, 1855, in the community, are justly popular among the people of Ellsworth, and bid fair to enjoy their married life for many years longer. [AbgF 02.]

- Instead of the marriage taking place in Pennsylvania as originally thought, it actually took place at Blackberry Station, De Kalb County, Illinois [DLL]. [AbgL 01.][BALa 07.]
