ANNIVERSARY -- A celebration of the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Jake Frick Sr., which had been delayed for a few weeks awaiting the arrival here of one of their daughters from California, was held at the Frick home in Culbertson last Sunday. About 40 descendants of Mr. and Mrs. Frick attending the festivities included all of their three daughters, four of their five sons, 19 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Their son, David, who resides in Lincoln, found it impossible to come. Following a bountiful dinner, group pictures were taken and the remainder of the afternoon and evening given over to old-fashioned visiting. Mr. and Mrs. Frick were married at Frank, Russia on February 18, 1897 and have lived in the Culbertson community practically all of the time since coming to America more than 40 years ago. They farmed north of Culbertson and on the place now occupied by their son, Jake Jr., before purchasing the farm now operated by another son, Carl. Since retiring from the farm about nine years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Frick have occupied a very comfortable home in this village. Both are 72 years of age, in good health, and enjoying the sunset period of their lives. Those who attended this happy gathering were Mr. and Mrs. George Frick and three children; Mr. and Mrs. Jake Frick Jr. and five children; Mr. and Mrs. Carl Frick and three children; and Mr. and Mrs. Willard Rippen and daughter, Karen, all residents of Culbertson; Mrs. Mary Jeffers of San Diego, California; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Frick and three children of Grand Island, Nebraska; Mr. and Mrs. Lester McLeland and two children of McCook; Mr. and Mrs. Howard Hill and son of McCook; and Mrs. Betty Jones and daughter, Vicki.
