Baumgart, Mr. / Mrs. Charles (60th – 17 OCT 1905)

Eighty-four relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Baumgart of Park Falls joined them at their home for dinner Sunday in celebration of the 60th anniversary of their marriage.

After their marriage they lived in south Abbotsford for two years, and then lived at Park Falls and Minocqua. Mr. Baumgart worked as a sawyer and Mrs. Baumgart was a cook in a lumber camp for many years.
