They celebrate Golden Wedding on August 29, 1908 in Blair, Nebraska. As of this date, no photographs of them celebrating their 50th are known, apparently, to exist. In the newspaper it stated all of whom were present....my grandmother Grace May Allbery Graham Houghland and her sister Carrie Bernice Allbery Wood were there. The party was gay, a night of dancing and a sumptuous supper. Numerous of people were there and entered into the festivities that lasted until midnight.
Obituary
The end finally came for Mrs. Richard Allbery at about 9 o'clock last Friday evening, she having been bedfast for over four weeks and unconscious for several days. Mr. Allbery, their son, Will, of Chadron, and only daughter, Minnie, Mrs. C.P. Rodman, of Omaha, were present when the end came.
About nineteen years ago she fell and sustained injuries that made her an invalid the balance of her life, yet she was brave and cheerful through it all, doing her own housework most of the time.
Catherine Amy Dolan was born in Beverly, Washington county, Ohio, the same town in which the editor was born, Dec. 3, 1835, and was therefore almost 79 years old. On August 29th, 1858, she was united in marriage to Richard Allbery and of this union seven children were born, Denna, who lives in Denver, Will, of Chadron, Frank, of this city, and Minnie, Mrs. C.P. Rodman, of Omaha. Alice, Celia, (Mrs. Otis Eller) and Grant died of tuberculosis when about thirty years of age.
They came to Blair in the early 70's and this has been their home ever since. Mrs. Allbery was a member of the Baptist church and the funeral was conducted at the house by Rev. Volck, pastor of that church, a 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. In 1908 Mr. and Mrs. Allbery celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, about a hundred guests being present, and the event had been a very pleasant memory to both of them ever since.
Mrs. Will Allbery came down from Chadron and C.P. Rodman and son, Gerald, and daughter, Gertrude, from Omaha to attend the funeral. Also Mr. Allbery's brother, Joe, and wife and daughter, Hattie; of Omaha, and Warren Eller, a grandson from Lincoln. Denna Allbery was here from Denver a few weeks ago to see his mother while she was still able to recognize and visit with him, but did not come for the funeral.
Mr. Allbery will make his home with Mrs. C.P. Rodman, in Omaha, as soon as the household goods are disposed of here.
