Scheffer, Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. (Golden - 3 September 1957) 
 

Three nephews who are priests celebrated a solemn high mass at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church at Fairview, near Humbird, in observance of the golden wedding anniversary September 2, of Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Scheffer, old-time Town of Mentor residents.  
 

A dinner was served to 60 guests, and a reception was held at the farm home for relatives and friends from 3 to 5 p.m. 
 

The Scheffers were married September 3, 1907, in Rice Lake, and have made their home on the Town of Mentor farm since that time.  The fourth generation of the family is now living on the farm.  Mr. Scheffer is 78 years old; Mrs. Scheffer is 72. 
 

Eight children were born to them; seven of whom still are living.  They were: Anthony of Prescott, Ariz.; Bernard of Humbird; Robert of Prairie du Chien; Walter of Norman, Okla.; Marian Monnat of Milwaukee; Collette, who died in infancy; Anita Durst of Sauk City; and Francis, Clintonville.  There are 25 grandchildren.
