Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Paddock, of Gladstone, well-known residents of Clackamas County, celebrated their golden wedding
anniversary at their home December 15, at which time many of their old-time friends from various sections of the county called to
extend best wishes. Many gifts also were received.

The home was attractively decorated in yellow, red and green.

Assisting in receiving were Misses Laura and Jessie Paddock, daughters; Mrs. A. D. Paddock and Mrs. Harry Paddock, of
Gladstone; Mrs. Addie Dedman Hunt, sister-in-law of Mrs. J. C. Paddock, of Raymond, Wash.

During the afternoon refreshments were served. Mrs. Harry Paddock and Miss Ona Renner poured tea, while Mrs. Arthur Paddock,
Mrs. Henry Dedman, of Canby, and Mrs. Don McKenzie, of Portland, sister of Mrs. paddock assisted the Misses Paddock in the
dining-room.

As this was also the birthday anniversary of E. P. Dedman, of Clackamas, brother of Mrs. J. C. Paddock, this event also was
celebrated.

Mrs. Paddock was born in Missouri December 9, 1848, and Mr. Paddock was born at Burlington, Ia., November 10, 1842. They
settled in Clackamas County in 1885.
