Grap, Mr. and Mrs. John Ferdinand (63rd - 12 October 1962)
Mr. and Mrs. John Ferdinand Grap observed their 63rd wedding anniversary Friday at the home in which they have lived for many years.
A truly pioneer couple, Mr. an Mrs. Grap lived for a number of years in a log cabin on a 40-acre tract and experienced the joys and hardships of caring for farm, home and family. The farm, now operated by their son, Frederick, has grown to 250 acres.
Mr. Grap was born in Germany and came to America when he was nine years of age. His wife, the former Martha Kalsow, was born and raised in the Town of Weston, and has spent all of her life in a radius of one and one-half miles in that township.
Relatives, neighbors, and other friends gathered through the day and evening Friday to wish Mr. and Mrs. Grap a happy anniversary.
