GOLDEN WEDDING 
Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Keys, Sr. Celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of Married Life. 
Lodiburg, Ky., Dec. 26.  (Special.) -- Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Keys, Sr. celebrated 
the fiftieth anniversary of their married life at their home near this place 
today.  In response to invitations, their children and grandchildren met in the 
old home with well-filled baskets and the table was filled to its capacity with 
the good of the land.  The good old folks were the recipients of gold coins 
from each of their children.  A most pleasant day was spent by the following 
persons:  J.E. Keys and family, J. Fitch and family of Cloverport, G. French 
and wife, Louisa [sic; her name was Georgia], J.W. Keys and family, A.J. Keys 
Jr., of Lodiburg and S.F. Keys, of Brandenburg.  H.O. Keys, of Stanley, was 
absent.  Eighteen grandchildren were present. 
Of the fifty years of Mr. and Mrs. Keys' married life, forty-eight have been 
passed on the farm, where they still reside.  Seven children have been born to 
this union, and all are living.  The youngest is thirty years of age.  Mr. Keys 
is seventy-five years old and his wife seventy.  Both are hale and hearty and 
bid fair to celebrate in a like manner for years to come.
