• Notes

  From The Wharton Spectator, Wharton, Texas, 12 Jul 1962 Johnsons Celebrate Silver Anniversary Friends of Dr. and Mrs. R. G. Johnson gathered at Wobbe's in the private dining room for a dinner party Saturday evening, July 7th, to celebrate the 25th wedding anniversary of the Newgulf doctor and his wife. There were 73 friends and relatives in attendance and many more, who were unable to be present, contributed to the lovely gift, a silver punch bowl and tray with crystal cups, which was presented to the popular couple. The tables were beautifully decorated with silver wedding rings on styrofoam bases, alternating with white tapers in silver holders. On the head table was a centerpiece of wedding bells in a crystal cone, entwined by sparkling blossoms and topped with a pair of wedding rings. On a small talbe, placed in front of the honor guests' table was a double heart-shaped wedding cake. The party enjoyed a dinner that included a frut cut, an entree of broiled steak filet, baked potato and tossed salad. Mrs. Johnson cut the first slice of cake and her daughter, Miss Betty Ruth Johnson, comploeted cutting the cake slices that were served as the dessert course. Dr. J. W. Simons, who has worked with Dr. Johnson for 23 years, made a very appropriate talk, paying tribute to Ralph, Eloise and Betty Ruth, recognizing their many contributions to the community. He presented the gift at this time and with a list of the friends who had a part in the happy affair. Out of town guests included Miss Betty Ruth Johnson of Auton; Mr. and Mrs. Walter Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Johnson and Diane, Mr. and Mrs., Fred Johnson, all of Houston; Mr. and Mrs. Bernard O. Stone and Bernard Stone, Jr., of Beaumont; Mr. and Mrs. Al Glidden and Mr. and Mrs. Winnie Kaough of Sulphur, Louisiana.
