	H.R. No. 404



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, A 70th wedding anniversary marks a lifetime of
	mutual devotion and shared experiences, and C. W. and Louise Elston
	of Mineola celebrated this joyous milestone in their marriage on
	August 24, 2014; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Elston were joined in matrimony in 1944
	at a ceremony held at the First Methodist Church of Canton,
	Illinois; through the years, they have been blessed with a
	treasured family that includes their children, Betsy
	Elston-Snethen, Richard Elston, Robin Elston, and a
	daughter-in-law, Brenda Elston, as well as their 7 grandchildren
	and 12 great-grandchildren; and
	WHEREAS, Soon after becoming husband and wife, the newlyweds
	were separated by World War II for two years as Mr. Elston served
	with the army in Europe and his bride worked for International
	Harvester to support the war effort; returning home after his
	honorable discharge, Mr. Elston was employed with a bank, became an
	accountant, and opened an income tax and bookkeeping business in
	1949, from which he retired less than five years ago; Mrs. Elston
	has devoted herself to her home and family throughout their
	marriage, and she especially enjoys gardening; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Elston have enjoyed seven decades of
	abiding love and affection for each other, and they are among an
	exceptional group of men and women who can claim such a lasting
	commitment; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate C. W. and Louise Elston on their
	70th wedding anniversary and extend to them sincere best wishes for
	continued happiness; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the couple as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.

	Hughes
