Mr. and Mrs. William Archi-
bald will be honored with a
reception in honor of their 50th
wedding anniversary Friday at
the SNAP Center from 12 noon
until 2 p.m.
The couple was married Sept.
23, 1927 in Crown Point, Ind.
She is the former Mary Leonard.
They were married in Indiana
because they were underage in
their home state, Illinois.
Although they were born
within four miles of each other,
the couple didn’t meet until
Mrs. Archibald was about 15.
They met at a square dance
attended by both families. They
admit that they began to date at
this time but it was done on the
sly because of their ages.
Later, Mrs. Archibald moved

to Chicago with her family and
the couple remained in contact
through letters. Mr. Archibald
went to work for Western Elec-1
trie and was transfered to
Chicago, where they finally got
together.
The couple has two children.
Their daughter, Georgia Gri-
solia, resides in Van Alstyne.
She and her husband, Anthony,
have four boys and a daughter.
The Archibalds also have a son,
Richard Thomas, who resides in
Illinois. He founded Peoria
Installers in Peoria, Illinois. He
has one son.
The couple came to Texas in
June, 1973 to help their son-
in-law and daughter build a
house. At the time they came to
this area, they wanted to move
here but made the final decision
after arriving.
Mr. Archibald was an elec-
trician by profession but also
enjoys carpentry work. He has
built a total of 26 new homes.
Mrs. Archibald explains that
they live their life day to day.
She commented that people
today should take marriage
more seriously and build fond
memories as she and her hus-
band have done.
The Archibald’s are active in
the local SNAP programs. She is
a Catholic and he a Lutheran,
but they found no conflicts in
their religion.
Mrs. Archibald enjoys paint-
ing and baking.

Congratulations go to those
two young men who got the
thrill of blowing out the Septem-
ber birthday candles. Cheers to
Lee Davis and Gene Cherry!
They promied to be back next
September for another slice of
birthday cake.
Our hearts are saddened by
the death of two of our partici-
pants, Mrs. Emma Carter and
LeRoy Hollingsworth. They both
left with us a legacy of wealth in
wisdom, friendship and fond
memories. They will be missed.
The life of this writer was,
indeed, enriched by being one
among many of the fortunate
persons whom Leroy Hollings-
worth shared his innerself with
his beautiful thoughts and feel-
ings so aptly expressed through
his writings. “Bro. Leroy, as I
affetionately knew him, shared
with me over the years, along
with many others, many beauti-
ful pieces, some light-hearted,
some deep, some spiritual. .
but all fulfilling food for thought
and soul searching.
