           Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Wellemeyer of this place celebrated the 50th anniversary of their marriage last Saturday, 21 August. A large number of relatives and friends graced the happy occasion showing their congratulations and good wishes together with more substantial tokens of their regard upon the worthy old couple. At about half-past four o'clock the guests were called in to partake of an old fashioned wedding dinner with their host and hostess. About ninety persons partook of the bounteous repast prepared. After dinner while the friends were gathered on the lawn around father and mother Wellemeyer, a short address was made by Rev. F. H. Wellemeyer, another by Mr. August Beinke of St. Louis, Missouri, which was followed by the reading of a short poem by C. L. Wellemeyer. After the short impromptu program the whole company led by the children again filed past the old people with hearty and heart felt congratulations. It was a very affective scene and one never to be forgotten. Tears flowed on every side, but they were tears of joy. When the invited guests had taken their departure, the children and grandchildren gathered in the pleasant sitting room and closed the day with songs and speeches and happy converse. All in all a most enjoyable occasion. Gifts were as follows: $50 in gold, Mr. and Mrs. Beinke; $50 in gold from the children; $2 in gold each from Rev. and Mrs. C. Schuler, Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Schneider and Mr. and Mrs. John Ulrich; $1 in gold each from Mr. and Mrs. Louis Able, Mr. and Mrs. A. Schneider, Rev. and Mrs. H. R. Fiegenbaum and Rev. and Mrs. Fiegenbaum. One dozen gold coffee spoons in a handsome case from Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Lauf; two gold tablespoons from Mr. and Mrs. H. Woestman; gold crescent pin from Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Gove; chased silver cup and saucer from Mr. and Mrs. William Schneider, two gilded china cups each from Mr. and Mrs. August Grunze and Rev. and Mrs. A. Haefner; one gold salad fork from Mr. and Mrs. Charles Schroeder; bread plate from Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Wells and a dinner set in china and glass from the grandchildren.
