Mabie, Mr. and Mrs. Albert (Golden - 1953) 
 

Mr. and Mrs. Albert Mabie, former residents of this community, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, Thursday, November 26, with a family dinner at the home of their daughter, Mrs. B. E. Loga, at Reedsburg, and with Open House at the Eagles Hall in that city.  Their eight children, with their families attended.  Thirty-five sat down to the Thanksgiving Dinner. 
 

Miss Altha Davis and Albert Mabie were married at the Methodist parsonage in Neillsville by the Rev. G. W. Campbell. Their attendants were her brother, Albert Davis, now of River Falls, and her sister, Miss Addie Davis, deceased.   Mr. Davis was not able to attend because of poor health. 
 

At the time of their marriage Mr. Mabie was foreman in the P. J. Kemmeter heading mill, and served in that capacity until 1905, when he received his appointment as rural mail carrier.  He served in this position for 36 years.  With the exception of six months carrying mail on route 4, he served as the carrier on Route 1, at that time the longest route out of Granton. 
 

The Mabies spent most of these years in Granton; but since retirement, they have lived with or near their children’s homes. 
 

Their children are: Mrs. Louie (Vesta) Schoetter, Chicago; Donovan, Watertown; Mrs. B. E. (Caroline) Loga, Baraboo; Milo, Neillsville; Mrs. C. (Irene) Clark, Reedsburg; Ernest, Plain; Mrs. Howard (Adeline) Berger, Carney, Mich.; and Ted, Stephenson, Mich.  There are 19 grandchildren, and all were present with the exception of Donna Mabie, the oldest grandchild, who is with the armed forces. 
 

Several friends and relatives from here had planned to attend but due to weather conditions remained at home.
