Deutschlander, John, Mr./Mrs. (50th - 4 APR 1953)

The children of Mr. and Mrs. John Deutschlander entertained their parents to a golden celebration which was held at the PNA Hall in Thorp (Clark Co., Wis.) on Saturday, April 11, 1953.

The celebration consisted of a dinner at noon for the immediate family. A six o’clock dinner was served to 400 relatives and friends.

The tables were beautifully decorated with cut flowers and a four tier wedding cake decorated with gold roses to suit the occasion was the attractive center piece of the honored couples table. This cake was baked by a friend of Chicago especially for this event.

The hall was beautifully decorated with gold streamers and gold wedding bells.

The evening was spent with dancing and a grand march which was lead by their granddaughter Dorothy Deutschlander followed by their 14 grandchildren, the honored couple and their family.

The bride of fifty years was altered in a dress of bronze lace designed and made by her sister, Mrs. Joseph Bona of Chicago for the occasion. She wore black accessories and wore an orchid corsage.
