Forty-four of their S0 happily married years have been spent there, since arriving from Scot- land in 1906. They have lived con- tinuously in the Channel city ex- cept for a trip to the Old Country in 1909. Two sons, Jack and Gordon, live in the family home. Among the guests members of several families the Millses knew when they first came —the Cashens, Laughlins and Mc- Cormicks, for instance. David Brown, now nearly 82, had preceded them from Scotland, and was one of the first friends Mr. and Mrs. Mills made in Alaska. The gclden wedding celebration followed a short meeting of Nugget Chapter No. 2, Order of the East- ern Star, in the Eagles Hall Mrs. Val Poor, general chairmau, had spent nearly three weeks per- fecting plans for it, then could not enjoy the party as she is in St. Ann's Hospital for treatment of serious burns. Everything happened according to plans, with Mrs. Jessie K. Fraser in charge of the dining room, where Mrs, Margaret Helms had arranged the beautiful table decorations. Ev- *leryone in Nugget Chapter helped in making the party a success. Centering the anniversary table was a huge tiered gold and white decorated cake, the base in the form of a Maltese cross. Gold nuggets added to the festive appearance, |as well as a “bride and groom ring.” “John” and “Agnes” in gold. A corsage and a boutonniere |made by Mrs. Leonard Johnson were proudly worn by the “bride and groom.” A miniature wedding party, all in Scottish costumes, repeated the ceremony of February 22, 1900 in Barr Head, Scotland. (At the real wedding, the Rev. Thomas Cook | officiated, and Mrs. Mills’ sister, | Elizabeth Bowie, and her husband, James Bowie, had been the atten- dants.) The “mock” aspect of the cere- mony was unwittingly carried out by the “bride,” 3-year-old Mikey | Marshall, who declined to say, “I! do,” until after urgent promptings. Others in the ceremony were young i Woody Poor as bridegroom; Glen- | |na Franklin and Doug Wahto, at- | tendants, David Gray served as! minister, and Mrs. Peter Moe plal ed the wedding marches. Songs, costumes and dances on the program were in the Scottish theme. Mrs. Leigh Grant sang two songs accompanied by her daugh- ter, Louise. In a trio singing Scotch songs were Nellie and Robert Fow- ler and John Hoisington, Alfred Buckingham also sang, accomparn- ied by Mrs, Moe, A genuine Highland Fling was danced by Maria Worobec, who had been coached by Mrs. Dorothy Stearns Roff. Bagpipe numbers were lof the evening. Those scheduled on the program were played by Dave Alfred Brown, but his grand- father, Dave Brown, took a skirl at the pipes and brought down the house. He also gave the wedding couple two gold Scottish sovereigns. in 1940, Juneau.
