GOLDEN WEDDING of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bohnke Celebrated Sunday by the Children AND GRANDCHILDREN Day Was Also the SeventySixth Birthday Anniversary of Mr. Bohnke. Just fifty years ago Sunday were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bohnke, two of the pioneer residents of this county, married and the event was happily remembered Sunday by their children and grandchildren who gathered at the parental home on North Second street and spent the day in a most pleasant way. The two aged celebrants were not aware of the surprise in store for them until they came home from church in the morning and found their chjldren and their families assembled thdre and long tables spread with a bounteous repast, around which they all gathered at the noon hour and again at supper time. The day was spent in bringing to mind the happy days gone by and many were the stories told of days of Ihng ago. The day was also the seventy-sixth birthday anniversary of Mr. Bohnke, so the celebration was two-fold. He and his good wife, who is seventy-two years of age, were both born in Germany and came to Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1851. There were married there In 1860, and after five years came to this county, where they have since lived, becoming one of its most substantial families. They retired from active life several years ago, since which they have lived in this city. That they may enjoy more happy years together is the wish of all. o Miss Mayme Deininger went to Fort Wayne this morning. The Christian Aald society will be entertained next Friday afternoon by Mrs. Frank Parr. —-o FOR RENT—Five room house on south side. Dan Erwin. 95t6
