Feala, Mr./Mrs. Ed (50^th Anniv. - 8 Sept. 1953) 
 

Mr. and Mrs. Ed Feala celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on Tuesday, Sept. 8. The festivities began with a high mass at 9:00 o’clock at St. Bernard’s Catholic church, before which the honored couple repeated their marriage vows. The Rev. Raymond Schulz officiated at the ceremonies. 
 

Dinner, served at noon at the home, was attended by the four children of Mr. and Mrs. Feala, and their families. A large gold cake, beautifully decorated, served as the centerpiece at the table. Baskets of deep, yellow gladioli were used in the church and home decorations. 
 

For the occasion, Mrs. Feala wore a blue dress with an orchid corsage pinned to the shoulder. 
 

In the evening, friends and neighbors came to give them an old fashioned charivari.
