Spotlight On...
MR. AND MRS. WIGLEY
	The spotlight is on a very nice couple who celebrated their 61st 
wedding anniversary Saturday, February 17th in their home 6 miles south 
on Highway 71. Mr. and Mrs. Wigley have resided in Scott [County] for the 
past five years. He is a retired farmer of Yell County.
	He and Miss Etta Kitchens, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Kitchens,
were united in marriage Feb. 17, 1907 on Mrs. Wigley's 16th birthday, in 
Southern Home near Booneville in Logan County. To this union were born 
four sons: Arley of the home, Raymond of Coquilla, Oregon, Herbert of 
Winston, Oregon and James of Waldron; one daughter, Marie (Mrs. Ted 
Hudson) also of near Waldron.
	The couple are still very active and Mr. Wigley is already looking 
forward to getting his garden out. He says that being able to be outside 
in the fresh air and sunshine and do things is the secret to their long 
life. Both have a keen sense of humor and to quote Mr. Wigley, are "like 
two pet coons."
	They are members of the Pleasant Hill Primitive Baptist Church. 
They were surprised Friday night when Mr. and Mrs. Ted Hudson and Mr. and 
Mrs. James Wigley and family dropped in with a large wedding and birthday 
cake to help them celebrate their Anniversary and Mrs. Wigley's 77th 
birthday. They have 17 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.
