Dickinson, Mr./Mrs. George B. (50th Anniv. - 18 Mar. 1940)

Mr. and Mrs. George B. Dickinson of the town of Hull were guests of honor at a reception given Monday evening by their children in honor of their golden wedding anniversary.

The reception was attended by their children, grandchildren, other relatives and a few of the old neighbors and friends.

They were married fifty years ago March 18th, on the farm on which they still live. They were attended by Miss Edith Dickinson, sister of Mr. Dickinson, and Alfred Cramer, brother of Mrs. Dickinson, who later were united in marriage and on May 6th of this year will celebrate their golden wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Cramer are now living in California.

Mrs. Dickinson, whose maiden name was Jennie Cramer, was born in New York state, and was brought to the town of Hull by her parents when seven years old.

They had five children, all of whom are living. They are: Leslie Dickinson of Wausau; Reynolds of Wisconsin Rapids; Mrs. George Drumm of Wausau; Mrs. Henry Wiese of Abbotsford; and George, Jr., on the home farm.
