Anniversary of Albert and Marie A. Duflot

From a newspaper article on the occasion of the 50th Wedding Anniversary of Albert and Marie A. Duflot on September 19, 1926 - Texarkana, Arkansas

Celebrate Golden Wedding

"Mr. and Mrs. Albert Duflot were guests of honor at a picnic dinner Sunday at Spring Lake Park in celebration of their fiftieth wedding anniversary. The centerpiece was a huge cake with fifty candles and Mr. and Mrs. Duflot were presented fifty dollars in gold by their children. The event was a complete surprise to the honorees. A bountiful dinner was served the members of the family and Mr. and Mrs. Foster Rogers, old friends of the guests of honor. The children present were: Mrs. R. J. Patterson, Mrs. W. B. Few, Mrs. W. J. Sorsby, Mrs. Ed George, Mrs. Albertine Compton, Mrs. W. F. Thompson and Mrs. Bunn Williams and their families. Those who were unable to attend were J. L. Duflot of Canyon, Texas, A. A. Duflot of Akron, Ohio and George S. Duflot of Lake Charles, Louisiana.
  "Continuing the celebration into the afternoon, friends were given an opportunity to extend congratulations at open house at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Bunn Williams, 223 Locust Street. For the occasion the house was appropriately decorated in autumn flowers featuring a gold note. In the receiving line were Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Duflot, Mrs. W. S. James, Mrs. F. E. Maddox, Mrs. A. W. Stevens, Mrs. Will Vinson, Mrs. A. L. Willis, Mrs. Ben Sorsby, Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. Few, Mrs. W. G. Sorsby, Mrs. George, Mrs. Compton, and Mrs. Thompson. Punch was served from a table on which were tall baskets of carnations, the gift of friends, by Misses Josephine Few, Cora Crenshaw, Mary Janet Compton and Ava Lee Willis. Miss Ann Few registered the guests at the door. About two hundred friends called during the afternoon, and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Duflot received many lovely gifts as souvenirs of the occasion."
