Dux, Mr./Mrs. Fred (55th - 1937)

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dux of Pine Valley have been married for 55 years and Sunday the occasion, together with Mr. Dux’s 77th birthday anniversary, were observed in a quiet way when 6 of their 7 children and the families gathered at the home farm to spend a few hours with the aged couple.

The children are Mrs. Otto Zank, Mrs. Otto May, Mrs. Albert Wagner, Otto Dux, Fred Dux, Jr., Mrs. John Miller of Glidden and Paul Dux, the latter being at home with the parents. Mrs. Miller was the only member not present, but was represented by her daughter, Agnes, who is employed in Neillsville, Wis. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Schultz, who are close neighbors and friends, also went over to congratulate this fine couple.

Mr. and Mrs. Dux were married in Germany and came directly to this country. After living for a short time with relatives they settled on the farm which has been home to them since. They have been honest hard-working farmers and won the respect of the entire community.
