This post features an item found in my great-grandmother’s scrapbook from the 1940s. To view all posts about the scrapbook, click here.
My great-great grandparents, Seymour and Patience (Swinney) Shook celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on September 18, 1942. Their daughter, my great-grandmother, Hazel (Shook) Rork, saved this newspaper clipping about the anniversary.





So wonderful that Mrs. Hazel Rork saved these newspaper articles. I remember her as a wonderful, kind woman who was a great cook.
