Ustianowski, Mr./Mrs. Wasyl (Gold - 2 SEP 1961)

Mr. and Mrs. Wasyl Ustianowski of Lublin, Wis. celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on Saturday, Sept. 2nd, 1961. The day began with a ten a.m. Mass at Ukrainian Holy Ghost Orthodox Church, Thorp, Wis., said by a Father from St. Paul.

Mrs. Ustianowski wore a beige lace dress with golden orchid corsage and in the evening wore a corsage of yellow tea roses. Her husband wore a medium gray suit and a carnation boutonniere.

A breakfast was served to 138 guests at the church hall with Mrs. Olga Knusta as the cook and Lottie Szemraj, Anna Kaczmarek, Frances and Virginia Ustianowski as waitresses. A supper for 225 guests was served at Sciezor’s Hall, Lublin by Mrs. Marion Sciezor.

The couple’s five sons, Alex, Phil, Aloise, John and Mike, four daughters, Marge, Mary, Ann and Stella, 25 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren all were present for the occasion.

Out of town guests were from Harvey, Bensenville and Chicago, Ill. Also present were Mrs. Ustianowski’s sister, Mrs. Clem Sorochtey of Chicago, and Mrs. Ustianowski, brother Elko and wife, who was their bridesmaid 50 years ago. The couple received many lovely gifts and telegrams.
