MR. AND MRS. JOE SNYDER GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Snyder received a very pleasant surprise on
Thursday afternoon when thirty neighbors and friends gathered at
their home in Greenwood, Clark County. The event was their Golden
Wedding Anniversary.
A very pleasant visit was enjoyed by all present after which the
guests assembled on the porch and lawn. Mrs. Snyder was presented
with beautiful bouquets of flowers, which were well worthy of the
esteem, respect, and regard with which Mrs. Snyder has always been
held by her many friends.
The bride and groom proceeded to the lower slope of the lawn, where
chairs had been arranged. Mrs. Hazel Brown was in immediate
readiness and pictures were taken of the happy couple, and also
some of the group.
With the use of the porch as an arch, a lawn circle was formed
about the porch and the committee in charge served ice cream and
cake. The refreshments were enjoyed by all. Mr. J. S. Andrews, on
behalf of her friends, presented the bride and groom with an
envelope suitable in every respect to a 50th Anniversary. Mrs.
Snyder immediately responded and accepted the gift in the spirit
with which it was given.
The little home was crowded to its extent. Echoes rang throughout
when the many happy congratulations and best wishes for many more
years of wedded life were extended. The guests departed all
reporting a very fine afternoon.
Lovilla Gardner and Joe Snyder were born and raised in Grant Co.,
Wis. Here they lived the greater share of their life. They were
united in marriage Aug. 2, 1873 by the Rev. S.W. Eaton of the
Presbyterian Church at Lancaster, Wis.
Their first home was established at Fennimore, Wis., where they
lived for over a year and where the first daughter was born. They
later moved to Hurricane, Wis. Here they lived 27 years and 9
children were born to them, making a total of 10 children. Tow died
in infancy, leaving 8 living children and 15 grandchildren.
In 1902 they moved on a farm in Clark Co. near Greenwood, and in
1906 moved to their present location in Greenwood.
Although Mrs. Snyder's health has been somewhat impaired for the
last few years, best wishes go with them for many more years of
happy wedded life.
