At 90, Happy For
Several Reasons
Fort Worth (Special) — The 90
candles on Mrs. Mary Elizabeth
McCorstin’s birthday cake Satur-
day told only part of why she was
celebrating.
There were- three other reasons.
Her family traditionally holds a
reunion on her birthday.
The birthday of a granddaugh-
ter, Molly- McCorstin, falls on the
same day as Mrs. McCorstin’s.
^But best of all, she spent the
day with a brother whom she had
not seen in 43 years.
More than 100 friends and rela-
tives attended a party given by
a daughter, Mrs. A. S. Whitley
of 3645 Travis.
One of the special guests was
Emet Dickson, 70, of Los Angeles.
Dickson and Mrs. McCorstin were
separated 43 years ago when he
moved to California. He came
back to Fort Worth to help her
celebrate her 90th birthday.
Dickson also got an opportuni-
ty to see two brothers, Joseph
Dickson, 82, of Miami, Fla., and
John Dickson, 85, of Dallas.
A 35-poun(f birthday cake car-
ried Mrs. McCorstin’s 90 candles
and Molly’s five.
But it didn’t take Mrs. McCor-
stin’s six children, 12 grandchil-
dren, 11 great-grandchildren and
their families long to whittle the
cake down.
After the party had ended Sat-
urday, .the white-haired woman had
to admit that it was a complete
success.
Leonard relatives of the honoree
include 4 nephews, Will, John, Fred
and Frank McCorstin and a neice,
Mrs. Abb Lorance.
RCA leadership is proven in new
TV 17 and 21-inch with guaran-
teed better installation included in
price at J. R. Wilson Company in
Leonard.

and children spent the week end
in Bonneville, Ark., with her par-
ents.
