elaborate event Saturday, honoring their golden wedding
anniversary.
More than 180 persons gathered at Victory town hall in response
to invitations of the daughters of MR. and Mrs. Morehouse, who,
unaware of any celebration outside the family home, were
invited by their son-in-law Tony Souders to go for a ride and
on stopping at the town hall were surprised to find relatives
and friends assembled and a wedding feast prepared.
Banquet is Served.
At 1 o'clock a bounteous banquet was served by the ladies Aid
Society of Grace Evangelical church , of which Mrs. Morehouse
is a member. Marijean Larsen, Hazel Carpenter, Mildred and

as favors and vases of golden flowers adding beauty. The same
color scheme was used to decorate the hall.

had been arranged for the grandchildren being seated with the
parents. Other relatives and guests were grouped at prettily
arranged tables nearby. Rev. H.E. Ryan gave the invocation and

being from one of Mrs. Morehouse's teachers of long ago.
Two beautiful wedding cakes graced the brides table, one
representing the matrimonial ship. This was made by a daughter,
Mrs. Gus Malcuit and was in the form of a boat. White icing
represented the white paint on the boat, yellow icing formed

gold flags ath each end. On deck stood a tiny bride and groom.

- Leah Lawton Shue - April 16, 1982

Grandpa Lyman used to send the family peaches on the train from
Custer to Manton. The kids loved that. Minnie was always
looking out for food for winter and she did alot of canning.
She made peach butter and pickled peaches. The pickled peaches
recipe stayed in our family as we all relished them so much.

I remember Grandpa and Grandma visiting us in Michigan when I
was about 6 or 7 years old. That's the only time I remember
seeing Grandma as she died when I was 9. Grandma had diabetes
and major problems with her feet. Grandpa was a lay minister
and he would always ask if I was saved. I didn't know what he
was talking about - so I'd shy away from him. In those days,
the teachings were a scare tactic. If we weren't good we would
go to hell and burn forever. We went to church on Sundays,
Sunday nights, and Thursdays and we had prayer meetings on
Tuesdays. Leah was a convert at age 8 or 9. I still was very
puzzled about it all. When I was in high school, one of my
friends told me that God was a good God so I learned a
different way.

Papa was very strict. We had no freedoms except for church
related functions and school. Mama went along with it as much
as she could. They had prayer service every morning where we
read the Bible and Mama, Papa, and Leah prayed. The rest of us
refrained. No one ever talked to us about the real love of God
- just the 'thou shalt nots'.

When I was in high school, I went with some of my friends to
their young people meetings which I enjoyed. I've been a
United Methodist for over 45 years and I have a deep faith and
love of God. I'm so thankful that I learned to be part of a
church family. Free Methodists NOW are great people. In fact,
I feel at home and very comfortable with different beliefs -
the important part is to believe.

Grandpa came to visit us one summer after Grandma died. He
built a big kitchen for us. I was only 12 when he died. He
was a good man - a kind man.

My father had a temper that he didn't control very well. I
don't know where that part of his personality came from. He
was short on patience, too. He was determined that Leah and
Charley weren't going to get married - but they did - at our
home. Virgil and I eloped. Papa didn't try to control the
boys, especially Floyd. Verne and Ruth got married at a
parsonage. Grace wanted a church wedding, so I sat Papa down
and talked to him. I told him that they were going to get
married and wanted a church wedding at the Methodist church,
where they could have music, and tht she wanted him to give her
away. But we wanted to be sure that he would control his
behavior - he did! He was so handsome. Charley even got a tie
on him - his first one. The wedding was lovely.

After I got married and had a family I could talk to him and
let him know my views and feelings and I think he listened (too
late).

I really didn't know anything about Grandma's temperment. I
understand she was kind and loving. She was almost a stranger
to me because we lived 80 miles apart and we were too poor for
anything more than necessary travel.
Once I was young and now I'm old, looking forward to 87 in May.
I love people - most people, anyway. Virgil always said I
picked my friends. I do. I have no time for whiners.
