Voelker, Mr. and Mrs. Robert (Gold - 1949)


Golden Wedding

Saturday, November 19th will be the Golden Wedding celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Voelker, who were married 50 years ago in the Spencer Lutheran Church by the Rev. A. Imm. Their attendants were a brother and sister of the brides’s, Frank and Dora Bruesewitz. The latter, as Mrs. Herman Schwantes, passed away a few years ago.

They started housekeeping on their farm east of Spencer where their children were all born and until about ten years ago when they moved to Spencer, where they have since resided.

They are not holding “open house” due to Mrs. Voelker’s ill health, altho around 60 relatives with a few close friends and neighbors will attend.

Seven of their nine children, two having passed away, with their children and grandchildren are expected. Dinner will be served at 4:30 P. M. in the dining room of the church after which a reception will be held at the home afternoon and evening with a late supper following.

The Record joins their many local friends in extending congratulations and best wishes for many more years of happy wedded life together.
