Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Greeler observed their golden wedding anniversary on Sunday, December 12, at their farm home on Route 4.  Although the actual wedding day occurred on October 4, the observance of their anniversary was postponed until their grandson, Erland Greeler, returned from overseas duty in Korea. 
 

A special service of Thanksgiving was held in the evening by the Rev. Alfred Schewe.  A song, "Now Thank We All Our God" was sung by the couple’s four grandchildren - Erland, Delores, Lucille and Janice Greeler.  Lucille also sang "The Lord’s Prayer."
