From the Grant County Press, Petersburg, WV:

Mr. & Mrs. C. N. Feaster Observe 63rd Anniversary

Original Account of Wedding Published

When Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Feaster observed their 63rd wedding Saturday as if it were just another day, it wasn't because their children didn't want to honor them. But what can one do after a gala celebration on the Golden Anniversary and another on the 60th? Anything, it would seem would be anti-climactic. And uncertainty of the weather was another reason for not planning a formal observance.

So, in collaboration with the Feaster's daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Dettinburn, the Press thought it would be novel to publish their wedding account as it appeared in the Grant County Press 63 years ago.

Before reprinting the wedding, one more thing should be said. For Mr. Feaster, retirement is for the birds. At age 88, he is actively engaged in selling insurance, an agency that takes him into the adjoining counties and he is his own chauffeur.

Following is the account of the Feasters' wedding 63 years ago.

A PRETTY WEDDING

One of the prettiest weddings of the season was solemnized at Arthur, Thursday, the 24th, at the palatial home of D. O. Fout, President of the County Court, when Miss Eulalia Dean Snyder became the happy bride of C. Newton Feaster.

The bride is a daughter of Joseph Snyder, the popular mechanic of Lahmansville and a successful public school instructor, while the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Feaster, a well known and prosperous farmer of the Arthur neighborhood. Both are popular young people and possess a host of friends.

Immediately at 11:15 o'clock the officiating minister, Rev. D. Garfield Brimlow, pastor of the United Brethren Church, led the way into the spacious living room where the happy couple were made husband and wife in the presence of a number of invited guests. Mrs. D. G. Brimlow presided and the piano. John Feaster, brother of the groom, was license bearer, while the attendants were May [Mae] Feaster and Mary Louise Muntzing, each of whom were attractively attired and took their places by the side of the bride and groom during the ceremony. The bride, who is very pretty, was charmingly attired in Silk Crepe De Chine with Filet lace and white satin slippers to match. The groom, who is one of the handsomest young men in the county, wore a suit of blue.

Immediately after the ceremony all repaired to the dining room where an elegant wedding dinner was served by the host and hostess in their usual happy manner. This occasion will long be remembered as Mr. and Mrs. Fout did all in their power to make it pleasant and agreeable and how well they succeeded. Both bride and groom were the recipients of many handsome and useful presents as an evidence of the esteem in which they were held. The groom, who is an industrious farmer, will take his bride to Lahmansville where they will make their future home.

Among those present were: Joseph Snyder and son, Fred, father and brother of the bride; Mr. and Mrs. Philip Feaster, father and mother of the groom; Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Fout, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Muntzing, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar May, Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Coler, Mrs. Hedivite Lee and Mrs. William Keplinger.

The bride and groom were delightfully entertained at a dinner given in their honor at the hospital [hospitable] home of the groom's parents Saturday. Here's hoping that they may live long and happily together, prove a blessing to the church and a gracious benediction to the community in which they reside. A host of friends extend their best wishes.
