With them were their six daughters and their families. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas E. Fairchild and children of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Weinberg, Lowell; Mr. and Mrs. Edmund G. Klemm and children of Waukesha, Wisconsin; Mr. and Mrs. George Wemple, Crown Point; Mrs. Henry C. Kirk and sons, Burlington, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. John Sybolsky and son, Yonkers, New York.

Many friends and relatives stopped in to wish the Golden Wedding bridegroom and his bride well. Dr. Isobel Wason of Washington, D.C., Miss Edith L. Burhans of Hammond, and Mrs. Arthur Hoffman of Joliet, Illinois, who were present at the wedding 50 years ago, returned to spend the day with them.
