Not to commemorate Armistice Day, nor to enjoy with you our national Thanksgiving Day have we assembled here this evening, but to celebrate with you your sixtieth birthday.

It is most appropriate that we should gather in our old home for this happy event. It was here we spent our merry carefree childhood under the watchful eyes of Mother and you. In the pictures on Memory's wall we find your unceasing kindness is ever portrayed. And as we grew up, went out into the world, or to take homes of our own we have never forgotten what you mean in our lives.

We wish we could be here every day to show you how we appreciate your helpful interest in all that pertains to us. That is impossible; but we, in a small way can give tangible expression to the wealth of our affection that is in our hearts for you. We ask you to accept this leather rocking chair, and as you daily use it, may it constantly remind you of our best wishes for your health and happiness through many years to come.

Your loving daughters and sons, Viola, Elva, Earl, Chester, Shirley.

Mr. Pearson in a few well chosen words, expressed his appreciation of the beautiful gift and loving thoughtfulness of his children. The rest of the evening was spent in a happy social time.
