yAlbert and Lino Stone Powell
ur of Johnsonville celebrated their
0. 72nd. Wedding Anniversary on
n September 24.
e
Mr. and Mrs. Powell were
is married in a simple civil cereit mony. His oldest sister made the
d bride's dress, fitting it to the next
xt younger sister. Their life togethol

er has been a wonderful one and
continues to be. She retired from
Wentworth Manufacturing in
Lake City and he retired from
Wellman, Inc. Before and after
they were employed with these
industries they farmed.
They have traveled widely
and together they planed and
escorted group tours for the senior citizens of their church and
others who wished to accompa-

nythem.
They are blessed to be able to
still maintain their home with
very little assistance and are in
reasonably good health. They
still plant vegetables for their
freezer and maintain a lovely
yard at every season of the year.
They have enjoyed sharing the
bounty of their plantings with
others. They have been known to
empty their freezer and take the
frozen food to others in order to
make room for their new crop.
Mr. Powell does not drive anymore, but Mrs. Powell drives
them to church and other local
functions.
Members of the Johnsonv'me
Pentecostal Holiness church,
they were both dedicated young
Christians at the time of their
marriage. That Christian relationship has carried them
through the good times and the
bad. They both taught Sunday
school for many, many years, he
served as deacon and she was
president of the Ladies Auxiliary for a long time. They have
been, and continue to be, a blessing to all they come in contact
with. It is a delight to know
them.
Mr. And Mrs. Powell have two
children, Mrs. William (Judy)
Batts of Oxford, N. C. and Roger
(Mary) Powell of Johnsonville.
They have five grandchildren
and a number of great grandchildren.
On their anniversary their
son and daughter-in-law took
them out to dinner. Their daughter and son-in-law spent the following weekend with them.
