Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Higginbotham will observe their fiftieth wedding anniversary Monday at their home, 662 East Twenty-first South street, with open house from 6 until 10 p. m.

They were married on May 8, 1889, in the Logan L. D. S. temple, and for many years have been well known throughout Utah and the intermountain west—Mr. Higginbotham as a public official, builder and L. D. S. church leader, and Mrs. Higginbotham as a musician and church worker.

Their early married life was spent in Ogden, where Mr. Higginbotham served as deputy county recorder, deputy county clerk, deputy sheriff of Weber county and as federal district court clerk. Later he was connected with construction work in the building of canals in Alberta, Canada, and in south central Idaho, end in construction of railroads in Montana, Idaho, Nevada and California.

Mr. Higginbotham was employed by the late John E. Dooly on May 1, 1911, and since that time has been connected with the John E. Dooly Company in Salt Lake City.

On June 27, 1919, he was ordained first bishop of Wells L. D. S. ward in Salt Lake City by President Heber J. Grant of the L. D. S. church. He held this post until June 22, 1932. On September 18, 1932, he was ordained a patriarch of the church.

Mrs. Higginbotham, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. George J. Marsh, spent her early life in Willard. For many years she was one of the leading soloists in L. D. S. church choirs of Willard and Ogden, and later became a member of L. D. S. temple and tabernacle choirs in Salt Lake City. She has served as an ordinance worker in Salt Lake L. D. S. temple and as a Relief society worker and supervisor of religious classes In Salt Lake City and Ogden.

Seven of their ten sons and daughters are living: Leon C., David H. and William A. Higginbotham, Mrs. Golden Haight and Mrs. Elias L. Woodbury, all of Salt Lake City; Daniel H. Higginbotham of Phoenix, Ariz., and Mrs. Elmo Peterson of Oakland, Cal. They have 15 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
