Mr. and Mrs. Walter E. Carkhuff observed their 36th wedding anniversary Thursday with the help of 16 relatives and friends who came bringing the evening meal to be enjoyed together. The affair turned out to be a double celebration since Wilbur Carkhuff, a brother of Walter, observed a birthday on Thursday, also. Those gathered were neighbors of the Carkhuffs at Olathe, where they made their home immediately following their wedding, and included Dr. and Mrs. R. V. Adler, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Carkhuff, Herman Carkhuff, Mrs. D. A. Casner, Frank Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Warren of Norwood, Mrs. Jessie Dawson of San Fernando, Calif., Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Stevens, Hayes B. Coffman and Mrs. E. C. Chamberlain. The dinner table was centered by a large bouquet of snapdragons and carnations sent earlier in the day by the guests. Mrs. Carkhuff, as Minnie Markle, was employed in the Montrose Post Office prior to her marriage.
