Golden Wedding Memories
Erastus Peter Peterson and Mary (Maren) Jensen Peterson

Fifty Years ago, back in 1888,
Erastus met Mary, it seemed like fate.
She at her grandmothers in Ephraim did stay,
Erastus a tall handsome lad, across the way.

Friendship ripened to love by the light of the moon,
Mary was all Rass desired; he knew very soon.
She could do everything that to her lot befell,
Needle craft to cooking, and was beautiful as well.

When the last of the roses were in full bloom,
She promised to marry Erastus real soon.
There's one think I object, Rass, You are taller than I,
I must look up to you, she said rather shy.

He answered, "I really think that's very nice,
You look up for council; I'll look down for advice."
They agreed to bend just a little you see,
To make a happy marriage where both would agree.

On July 25th in the Manti Temple they wed,
For time and all eternity, this marriage read.
The words were repeated, "Will you honor and obey?"
She promised to be faithful, he would love her always.

They bought a home in Ephraim, lived there a year,
Then came back to Redmond, among friends they hold dear,
Erastus went farming and to feather their nest,
For soon their home by a boy was blessed.
The years rolled on swiftly with sunshine and rain,
Through sunshine or shadow they were always the same.
When it seemed the load was too much for the other,
They would cling close together; they were one with each other.

Toiling and saving they built a fine home,
It took ten years hard work, but it was their own.
Flowers to brighten, growing all around the door,
This was their haven, they couldn't ask for more.

The Lord blessed their home with a family of eight.
Five boys and three girls of highest rate.
They all try to comfort, cheer, and to love,
These parents so noble, God sent from above.

They always found time for Church work to do,
Mary was Relief Society President, worked as councilor too.
On the genealogical committee she worked faithfully.
And for many years a teacher in the Relief Society.
