Seeger, Mr./Mrs. Herman (Gold – NOV 1970)
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Seeger entertained close friends and relatives at their home
on Union Street in honor of his parents' golden wedding anniversary on Saturday
and Sunday, June 27 and 28.
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Seeger were married at Kennan in November 1920, at the home
of the bride. After their marriage they farmed at Kennan and Prentice before
moving to Nekoosa in 1965.
Hazel Mabie was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.S. Mabie, who were early settlers
northeast of Loyal (Clark Co., Wis.). As a young girl she had kept house for her
father after the death of her mother.
Herman Seeger was a sawyer in the logging business around Hawkins and Kennan.
The Mabie family had moved to Kennan in 1919, where the young couple met and
were married the following year.
Mr. Seeger served in the Army of occupation in Germany and France during World
War I and was honorably discharged as a corporal. At Prentice he was a member of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Highlighting the events Sunday was a mock wedding put on by the grandnieces and
nephews. Two of Mrs. Seeger's, Sisters, Mrs. Arthur Swantes, Santa Rosa, Calif.,
and Mrs. Henry Birkholz, Long Prairie, Minn., phoned to give their greetings, as
they were unable to attend in person.
On Saturday all nine of the children, thirty-one of the thirty-two grandchildren
gathered for a picnic honoring the Mr. and Mrs. Seeger. The celebration was held
now, as it was more convenient for them than it would have been in November.
Only one grandson was absent. He is Pfc. Robert Seeger, Jr., who is stationed in
Okinawa.
Their children are Mrs. Ed (Esther) Peters, Zion, Ill.; Robert Seeger, Virginia
Beach, Virginia; Alton Seeger, Jump River; Mrs. Wm. (Edna) Wulf, Nekoosa; Mrs.
Hebert (Beatrice) Klante, Birnamwood; Fred Seeger, Lake City, Minn.; Mrs. Dwight
(Maxine) Zulsberg, Chicago, Ill.; Walter Seeger, Loyal; and Mrs. Alfred (Helen)
Saler, Huberius.
Both of the Seegers are active and have good health. He enjoys reading and
following football games, while she does sewing and spending time with flowers
in her yard.
