Burnes, Freck, Ark. dated May 7, 1935 to Mr. J.F. Dillard, Mull, Ark.</div> <bR> <div> Dear Old Boy:</div> <div>      I notice by your invitation card that you are Seventy Four years old.  This is many miles to travel life's highway.  You have lived Four years on borrowed time, but I hope it will please our Heavenly Father to lend you many more years, and that your declining years may be your happy ones.  I think it is mighty nice, at your age, to be able to look back over Seventy Four mile stones, and see a life well spent, and then view from this vast height, the western SUN as it declines, and hope that one's life may be better spent.  Dock, I am sorry to tell you, I can not be with you on that day.  I have no way to come, if I could leave the store.  But we can not both leave at once, for too many people depend on me for their supplies, and the post office can not be closed.  But my heart will sing in harmony with the spirit that I know will be there.  I am sure you will have a fine time, and may you look back to this occasion as one of the happiest of your life.  Tell your good wife I remember her kindly, and may God's richest blessings rest on her, for she surely deserves it.</div> <div>      With kindest regards for you all, I remain your FRIEND.  B.F.Burnes</div> <bR> <div> Article from "The Mountain Echo" dated May 15, 1935</div> <bR> <div>      An unbroken family reunion numbering 96 members, including father and mother, 8 sons and three daughters, together with their wives and husbands, 61 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, featured the 74th birthday anniversary of Doc Dillard at the home on highway 14 south of Yellville last Friday.  Besides members of the family, some 50 friends from Yellville, Flippin and the community paid their respects to the happy occasion with their presence.  A sumptuous dinner was served on a long improvised table, extending across the yard at 5 o'clock.  Each member of the family brought baskets and bxes filled with food for the feast.  An outstanding factor in the menu consisted of strawberry shortcake, the fruit for which was packed and sorted for the best by Doc himself, from his home berry field.  The Dillard String Band, composed of sons and grandsons, enlivened the ocassion with melodies of the grand old music, such as has thrilled thousands at the nieghborhood dance through generations in the Buffalo river country.  As an accompanimant to these old tiem tunes, Doc stepped a tap dance as glibly as a 16-year-old, to the hearty amusement of the spectators.  His 74 years seem to rest as lightly upon him as 50 does upon the average person.  This preservation of health and vitality is attributed by him to having always led an active life which he still keeps up, refusing to worry when things go wrong, having a good time when he could, and lending a helpful hand to those in need.  During his life's activities, he has made fortunes which his needy neighbors have shared.  While having no ambition to be rich, his family has always been well provided for and have a competence for old age.  The home is in the locality where he and his good wife were born and have spent many years through which they have passed side by side.</div> <div>      All the children except one son, Guy, who lives in Mississippi county live in the community of the parental home, and still pay to Dad and Mother that reverend respect that they learned in childhood.</div> <div>      As friends took their leave, wishes were freely expressed that this honored couple might spend many more happy years together amid surrounding of their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and many admiring friends.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> One Who Spent The Day There</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
