Wolfram, Mr./Mrs. Arthur (Gold – 27 JUN 1966)
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wolfram celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary
Sunday, July 24, 1966 with an "open house" at the St. Paul's Lutheran Church at
Curtiss from 2 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and receiving guests again that
evening at the home in Owen.
Wedding anniversary morning began with the Wolframs attending the morning
service at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Curtiss, at which their son Norman
rendered a solo during the service, "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say." Their
pastor, Rev. Tellock conducted the service before an altar decorated with yellow
roses and yellow carnations in their honor.
At the afternoon reception the Ladies' Aid of St. Paul's served the lunch and
refreshments. A lovely decorated wedding cake was the center of interest at the
tables and gold vases held yellow roses. A large number of friends and relatives
attended the afternoon and evening gatherings.
Mrs. Wolfram's corsage was a yellow rose and yellow carnation arrangement, and
Mr. Wolfram wore a yellow carnation boutonniere. Both of their children and
their families were here for the occasion.
Arthr Wolfram and the former Edith Myhre were married on June 27, 1916 at St.
Paul by a Lutheran minister in the rectory of the Good Shepherd Church. They
made their first home in Ladysmith and later moved to Owen, where they have
lived for almost forty years.
Mrs. Wolfram was born in Sheboygan July 12, 1889, one of four children. Still
living is his brother at Fort Atkinson, and a sister at Sheboygan. His oldest
brother, Oswald, passed away in March at Sheboygan.
He was first employed in Amery, and when moving to Owen (Clark Co., Wis.) he
worked in the cannery. Later he was employed by the Soo Line and also worked as
a postal clerk. Later in life he was employed at Foremost Dairy in Owen, where
he worked until his retirement.
Mrs. Wolfram was born Dec. 6, 1896 at Lanesboro, Minn., later moving to Amery
with her parents, brothers and sisters, where they lived on a farm. She was one
of nine children raised there and at present has four brothers and two sisters
living.
The Wolframs have two children, Rodger, who is married and live in Eau Claire,
and Gloria, Mrs. Norman Erickson, now living in Stoughton. They lost three
children in infancy and a daughter, Virginia. They have nine grandchildren.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Wolfram are in good health and in their retirement have been
enjoying their children and visiting many relatives. Mrs. Wolfram was an ardent
trout fisherman a few years back, at which time he haunted the streams in
northern Wisconsin much of his time. Of late his fishing trips are but few.
Since Mrs. Wolfram's retirement from the Master Package Corp. of a year ago, she
finds enjoyment in her flower garden and visits with her children and
grandchildren. They are both fond of traveling and have made many trips to
California, Seattle, Wash., Niagara Falls, Minneapolis, Sheboygan, Fort
Atkinson, Amery, Clear Lake, visiting friends and relatives.
