10 Children to See Wedding Anniversary - Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Blessing Married 40 Years - Six Sons in War.   The Hartford Courant July 22, 1921 With a possibility that all of their ten children will be present to help celebrate the occasion, Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Blessing of No. 30 Hopkins street will tomorrow observe the fortieth anniversary or their marriage, in Meriden, July 23, 1880. Mrs. Blessing was formerly Frances Mary Mesick. Mr. Blessing, who is employed at the capitol, and Mrs. Blessing have been residents of Connecticut practically all their lives, and of Hartford for the greater part of that time, and while the family has scattered practically from coast to coast, the children have gradually drawn back near the old home until now most of the surviving ten live in Hartford while New York is the residence of the son who is furthest from home. In his younger days, Mr. Blessing for five years was a member of Company I, Second Regiment, C. N. G. of Meriden. When the late war was declared his family of seven sons and three daughters made a splendid showing as six sons wore the United States uniform; and one daughters, Mrs. Frances Gulle, served in the Red Cross, while her husband was in the service. While the sons in the Eastern part of the country were getting into action they heard that their brother, George A., who was married and lived in California, had enlisted. The other sons are Frank, Joseph A., F. Theodore (who was born on the day that Theodore Roosevelt was inaugurated), Albert, Burton J. and Charles H. The daughters, besides Mrs. Gulle, are Mrs. Henrietta Hansen and Mrs. Mary Hansen. The celebration will not be formal and no formal invitations have been issued, but it is expected that a number of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Blessing will call during the afternoon and evening.
