Sept. 19, 1959, Martha Lois Hawkins and James Franklin Herbst were united in marriage. Rev. Glenn Hinkle performed the ceremony in the First Christian Church, El Dorado Springs. To this union, three children were born – Andy, Ann and Alice.

The first 10 years of their marriage, they lived and worked in the El Dorado Springs area. Jim’s job transferred them to Appleton City in 1969, where they lived for 33 years. Then they retired back to their farm west of El Dorado Springs for the past 17 years.

Saturday, Sept. 21, their children, Andy and Dara Herbst, Ann and Gary Pennell, and Alice and Bob Claypool, hosted a celebration in the fellowship hall of the First Christian Church. Refreshments were served from 2 to 4 then a barbecue dinner was served from 4 to 7.

Thanks to everyone that attended with advice (for the next 60 years) and best wishes, plus all the greeting cards.
