Both members of this happy union are in good health and in possession of all their faculties. Mr. Davis is an active gardener and his wife raises and sells canaries as her hobby. The groom of 50 years ago recalls that he has worked since he was 10 years of age when he began his life’s labors at the salary of $10 a month. “I am still working,” says Mr. Davies, “And I expect to keep right on.”
