Neilsons Celebrate 58th Wedding Anniversary At Their Home February 22 The fifty-ninth wedding anniversary anniver-sary of Mr. and Mrs. Israel Neilson Neil-son Sr., was appropriately celebrated cele-brated at their home Feb. 22nd, with a family dinner and short program for all of the family members who could attend. The affair was in charge of Mrs. Wil-lard Wil-lard Sorenson, St. George; Mrs. W. O. Nisson, Mrs. Israel Neilson Jr., Mrs. Vernon Neilson and Mrs. Antone Neilson. The affair was in the nature of a surprise, and many family members mem-bers took gifts and felicitations. Mr. Neilson, who came to America at the age of six, is now aged 94. His wife, Georgina came several years later. They were married in the St. George Temple, Feb. 22, 1884, and still reside in the home erected by Mr. Neilson's father Peter Neilson Sr., who is remembered for his loan of hundreds hun-dreds of dollars to help purchase the window lights for the Temple and Tabernacle.
