FIRST FIFTY YEARS HAPPIEST,
CLAIM COUPLE ON GOLDEN WEDDING DAY
The first 50 years are the happiest.
John H. Lampton and Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lampton, who are celebrating today 50 years of marital accord, insist this is so.
The celebration at their home, 4451 Lockwood Avenue, will be simple, due to the fact that Mr. Lampton is recovering from an illness of several weeks.
Socially prominent here among the city's first families, the couple recalled today that when they came here in 1886:
The Plaza was the center of town.
A cable car on Temple Street and the horse car on West Jefferson assumed the entire burden of cosmopolitan transportation.
When the first automobile was introduced in Los Angeles, Mr. Lockwood waited three weeks before he was able to glimpse the "horseless" carriage.

THE BULLETIN 1931:
Golden Wedding
Fifty years ago in the little town of Grayson, Missouri, John H. Lampton, a struggling young farmer, took Miss Mary Elizabeth Trice to be his lawful wedded wife, "for better or for worse--for richer or poorer--in sickness and in health".
And last Friday evening, at a very simple reception at the Lampton home home on Lockwood Avenue, Mr. Lampton, but recently returned from a hospital following a major operation was sufficiently recovered to receive the congratulations of a few relatives and friends at a golden wedding celebration.
Having come to California almost fifty years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Lampton settled in the little town of Burbank, then a struggling farming community. They were among the pioneer developers of San Fernando Valley, taking active part in the civic life of the little community where Mr. Lampton organized the First Christian Church and sent his children to the one and only grammar school.
Owning a large ranch in those years of uncertain rains, afforded a precarious livelihood to a large and growing family, and Mr. Lampton likes to tell about the times when the farmers in San Fernando Valley were glad to haul dirt from the Hollywood hills to help pave San Fernando road and pay taxes.
The old family residence, somewhat scaling of paint, but sturdy of structure, is still standing and occupied, and is one of the earliest landmarks of the city of Burbank. About twenty years ago the family moved from Burbank to their present abode near Vermont Avenue.
There were four sons and one daughter to celebrate the golden wedding. They are: Edgar E., Wilshire district manager of the Automobile Club of Southern California; Fred W., a salesman; Logan B., city employee; Glenn T., Captain U.S. Air Service; and Miss Ethel Lampton, civil service employee. Leon E. Lampton, County Clerk, is a nephew.
There are nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Mr. Lampton, who was 76 years of age, came to the Southland from Missouri in 1886 and settled on a large ranch which is now the center of Burbank. He helped to build the First Christian Church at Burbank. At the time of his death, he was a deacon in the First Christian Church of Hollywood.
