Hillert, Mr. and Mrs. Richard (Golden - 6 June 1968)

June 6 marked the Golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hillert of Granton. Relatives and friends honored the couple in a reception at Zion Lutheran Church, Granton, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Sunday.

Richard and Amelia (nee Trimberger) Hillert are natives of the Granton community. They were married in 1918 and engaged in farming until their retirement 12 years ago. Both have continued to serve their community in various capacities in the interest of numerous school and church projects throughout the years. They have two sons: Theodore, who served as a teacher of science and vocational agriculture in the high school at Tomah, and Richard, Jr., who teaches music in the Chicago area at Concordia College, River Forest, and at Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill.

Among those participating in the celebration, including numerous out-of-town relatives, were Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Hillert and family, Mark, David, Susan and Brian, and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hillert, Jr., and family, Kathryn, Virginia and Jonathan. A dinner for close relatives preceded the reception.
