GOLDEN WEDDING. Wednesday of the past week witnessed one of those rare events in society at Aurora, the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Joy Tarble, father and mother of Myron F. Tarble, Coroner's clerk, of this city. Cards were issued for a reception from 2 until 6 p. m., and, notwithstanding the rain, which poured incessantly during three hours, the house was filled with the many friends who .have known Mr. and Mrs. Tarble during their residence of thirty-four years past in Aurora. The presents were numerous and handsome, among them being $200 in gold coins as a strong argument in favor of specie resumption to "Uncle" Joy, who has had a leaning toward the Greenback party during the past two or three years. Mr. Tarble removed to Aurora from Oswego, N. Y., in 1846, and was for a number of years engaged in business as a mason-builder. He built the first brick store and first brick dwelling in Aurora, and there are many brick and stone buildings in the place that stand as monuments of his workmanship. He was one of the founders of the Universalist Church society, and for a number of years one of the Trustees. He has occupied various positions of public trust which he filled with credit to himself and profit to the citv. lHe was a stanch Republican, and an active, patriotic citizen during the War, and could scarcely be restrained from entering the service, notwithstanding his age and the fact his three and only sons had gone to the front. He was one of the founders and first officers of Jerusalem Temple Lodge. A. F. & A. M. Mr. and Mrs. Tarble are in the 75th and 73d years of their age, and both, in the enjoyment of good health. He is not now engaged in any business, but lives quietly on the old and beautiful homestead on North Lake street, where it is hoped he may yet spend many years of happiness with his worthy companion of the past fifty years.

Obituary
Mrs. Joy Tarble, who has been suffering for the past three years from cancer, expired about three o'clock Wednesday afternoon, at her home on North Lake street, aged seventy-four years and eight months. Mrs. Tarble was born in Washington county, N. Y. and came to this city with her husband thirty-six years ago. Here she has reared a family of four children--Mrs. Henry Titsworth; Melvin Tarble, in the employ of the Pullman Company; Martin, a mason of this city; and Myron, chief clerk for Sheriff Mann of Cook county, all of whom, with her husband, survive her. Mrs. Tarble was a lady well known and thoroughly respected. In her days of health she was a woman of great strength of mind, energy and determination. In her illness her strength of mind did not desert her, and as the certainty of death approached she made her preparations to "pass over the river" as calmly and thoroughly as she would have done for a visit to the East. Her shroud was prepared with her own hands, the minutae of her funeral day arranged, and especial request made that her friends should sing her favorite hymn, "Asleep in Jesus, Blessed Sleep," before they lay her body to rest in West Aurora cemetery. The funeral of Mrs. Tarble was largely attended yesterday afternoon. Mr. Tarble has the sympathy of a large circle of friends, including all the old settlers. Mr. and Mrs. Tarble celebrated their golden wedding three years ago, and Mr. Tarble can rejoice in the memory that he has enjoyed a longer term of wedded life than usually falls to the lot of mortals.
