PIONEERS REACH 50TH MILESTONE
Golden Wedding Celebration Planned By Couple Who Aided Valley Growth
Early days when Burbank was a little farming community will be recalled by old-time Glendale and Burbank residents with the announcement of plans for the golden wedding observance of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Lampton.
Mr. and Mrs. Lampton moved to Burbank in 1886, coming here from the middle west five years after their wedding. He built a home on a sixty-acre ranch and became one of the pioneer developers of the San Fernando Valley.
PLAN FOR ANNIVERSARY
The couple will celebrate their golden wedding May 1, with an anniversary party at their home, 4451 Lockwood, Los Angeles. Four generations will gather to do them honor; the family now including nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
The sons are Edgar, Wilshire district manager for the Southern California Auto club; Fred, a salesman; Capt. Glen, an officer in the United States army air service; and Logan, a city employee. Miss Ethel Lampton, the daughter, is employed by the Los Angeles civil service department.
PIONEERS OF BURBANK
Mr. and Mrs. Lampton were married in 1881, in Grayson, MO. After living in that state for five years they moved west and settle in what is now Burbank.
The district was practically undeveloped a that time, and Lampton purchased and developed sixty acres in what is now the heart of the city. The old homestead, which he built near Tenth Street, still stands.
ACTIVE CHURCH WORKER
Mr. and Mrs. Lampton took a leading part in the life of Burbank during it's early years. He was a founder of the Christian church and both were active in society until they left the city twenty years ago. He is now 76 and she is 71 years old.
When the Lamptons settled on their ranch, only one school was in driving distance and that offered only the elementery grades. Sagebrush covered the slopes of the Verdugo Hills, and the San Fernando Valley was virgin territory.
