In the 26 April 2000 issue of THE SABINE COUNTY (Texas) REPORTER, the following article, with a picture, appeared:

GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY

Fred and Narvalyn Ellison will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. at their home in Rosevine. They were married April 29, 1950. The reception will be hosted by their children Robert and JoAnne Wise, John and Debbie Duck, Kenneth and Jill Ellison, and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Family and friends are invited.

An identical article ran in the 27 April 2000 issue of the SAN AUGUSTINE (Texas) Tribune.

Notes:

Herman suffered from tuberculosis, and spent some time at a hospital in San Angelo when his children were still young. His wife and their eldest children, ranging in age from 14 to 10 had to bring in the crops while Herman was hospitalized. James Roland Fuller recounted that "what kept us going beyond our own best efforts was the help and encouragement of the good people of the county, especially their friends and neighbors in Rosevine, who came to help work the crops. Many of them pledged one days work each week, as needed, even while busy with their own crops. With their help and the grace of God we were able to survive."

When Herman returned, he was not able to farm. He traded his animals and equipment to a local store owner as a down payment on the store. He also was hired by the Rosevine school district to pick up and deliver students to the school. Ruth also helped at the store. As the years passed, Herman regained enough strength to operate stores and service stations throughout east and southest Texas.
