Frantz, Mr./ Mrs. Conrad G. (50th - Anniv. 1931)

Mr and Mrs. Conrad G. Frantz celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage in a quiet way at their home on South Grand Avenue on Saturday, August 29.

Mr and Mrs. Frantz were both born here and have lived in this locality all their lives. They were married Aug. 29, 1881 by Rev. W. T. Hendren, a pioneer minister of Neillsville. The greater part of their married lives were spent on their farm in Pine Valley. Some years ago they bought their fine city home and retired from farm life. Both are in good health and take an active interest in family and community affairs. For many years Mr. Frantz was active in town and county matters, representing Pine Valley on the county board a number of terms.

All their children and families were present at the celebration, Saturday. Senator and Mrs. E. J. Roethe and family, Attorney and Mrs. George Frantz and family, all of Fennimore; Mr. and Mrs. V. A. Hetland and family of Jefferson; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Frantz of Pine Valley; Mr. and Mrs. Ben Frantz and family, Neillsville. There are 17 grandchildren. Besides those mentioned there were present a niece, Mrs. Clara Winkes and daughters, Emma, and Mida, and Mrs. Frantz’s sister, Mrs. Fred Seif, Sr.

It was a most pleasant family reunion.

A number of fine gifts were presented to Mr. and Mrs. Frantz.
