Luther, Mr. and Mrs. Emil (Golden - 1964)

Mr. and Mrs. Emil Luther, former long-time residents of the Town of Beaver and Greenwood, now living in Heafford Junction, observed their golden wedding anniversary at their home last Sunday, April 12.  Several friends and relatives from Greenwood, Loyal, Unity and the surrounding area attended an open house held at their home from 2 to 5 p.m.  They were married in the Lutheran parsonage in Loyal on April 12, 1914.

A dinner was held Saturday night at a resort near Heafford Junction, with members of the immediate family present.  The centerpiece for the table was a three-tiered cake topped with golden candles. All four of the couple’s sons were present: Gerald of Heafford Junction, Lester of Eau Claire, Douglas of Junction City and Kenneth of Wausau. Also present was Otto Luther of Marshfield, on of their wedding attendants.  The couple also has 10 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

For approximately 25 years the Luther’s operated the Schilling Cheese Factory in the Town of Beaver. They lived in Greenwood for several years, and moved to Heafford Junction in 1950.

During the open house, the Order of Eastern Star served coffee and cake to about 90 guests.  Surprise guests were Mr. and Mrs. Harold Bornwell of Palm Springs, Calif., brother and sister-in-law of Mrs. Luther.
