Mr Anniversary Gift

It's truly a rare event that couples can celebrate their 50th anniversary together, but to extend beyond that and actually see their 70th year together? It's nothing shy of amazing.

Clifford and Betty Hare of Wentworth will observe their 70th wedding anniversary on March 20.

The couple met in 1930 while both were in the sixth grade at Wentworth. Her maiden name was Susan Elizabeth Shafer. Her father Otto was the depot agent there.

Their first date was in July 1934. They both graduated from Wentworth High School. She took a graduation trip to Idaho and he worked on the railroad for several months, but when they both returned, they decided to be married the next spring.

A year after their marriage, they moved to the family homestead four miles from Wentworth and began farming the land his father had homesteaded in 1895, overlooking Lake Madison. They raised a son and two daughters there.

Wouldn't you just love to sit with them a spell and hear the tales they have to share?

God bless them both!
