50th Wedding Anniversary of John and Mary Thuss
At the Thuss residence on Adams Street, a happy reunion and golden
wedding took place Thursday. It was the 50th anniversary of the marriage
of Mr. and Mrs. John Thuss, old and esteemed residents of this
community. Rev. O.F. Doehler officiated at the celebration at the house.
The celebration was only a family affair, there were no other guests
besides the relatives. The Liedertafel serenaded the aged couple with
singing several German songs. It was indeed a happy occasion at the
Thuss household. The happy family consists of parents and nine children,
nine of whom are living. They are: Henry, William, Fred, George of
Marshfield, Chas of Nielsville, Mrs. Larkin of Oconomowoc, Mrs. Fred
Gerbinski of Manitowoc, Mrs. Geo Gesell and Edward Thuss of this city.
