The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, September 20, 1906
S.B. SWIFT, of this city, was a boy of ten summers, fifty years ago, and
residing with his parents near Iconium. When he read the golden wedding of
HON. THOMAS BRANDON and wife in last week's Leader, it brought old times
back to him. He says he remembers the occasion of fifty years ago and that
his father and mother attended the wedding. Their conveyance was an old
lynch pin Pennsylvania wagon with a box fully fifteen feet long and three
feet deep. But those were the good old days, after all.
MR. SWIFT also says the first school he ever attended was in 1856 and was
taught by MRS. BRANDON, whose name was then MARY JANE STEPHENS.
