Vater, Mr. and Mrs. Robert (66th - 11 November 1959)
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Vater, who live between Longwood and Withee, celebrated their 66th wedding November 11. The Vaters are one of Clark County’s oldest pioneer families and reside in a beautiful and quaint cottage on the west side of Highway 73.
Robert Vater was born October 25, 1870, and Mrs. Henrietta Vater, September 8, 1970, both at Plymouth. Both attended rural schools there and were married there November 11, 1893.
They came to Clark County in 1906, locating on the farm which has been their home for 53 years. Mr. Vater worked in the early years in the logging and lumbering industry and also operated a larger dairy farm.
They have six children, Arno, Mrs. Ruth Moody, Alice Jones, Gladys Woodburn, Carl and Neil.
The 66th anniversary was observed with relatives and neighbors joining in a quiet celebration. The couple has enjoyed good health for many years. Mr. Vater, in recent months, has found it necessary to slow down and confine himself to his home.
