Hillert, Mr. and Mrs. Ricard (60th - 1978)

The 60th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hillert, Granton, was observed June 6 with the couple honored in a weekend celebration by the immediate family.

Richard and Amelia (Trimberger) Hillert are natives of the Granton community and have lived there all their lives. They were married in 1918 at Zion Lutheran Church, Granton, where they still are members. They were an active farming couple until retirement 20 years ago and then became involved in various community, school and church projects.

The couple have two sons, Theodore, Tomah, who is a technical Agriculture teacher for the state of Wisconsin, and Richard, a professor of music at Concordia College in River Forest, Ill. The Hillerts also have seven grandchildren.

Among those observing the celebration were Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Hillert and son, Brian, and Dr. and Mrs. Richard Hillert and children, Kathryn, Virginia, and Jonathon. Visitors at the Hillert home included the Rev. and Mrs. Horst Augustin and family, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Trimberger and Mr. and Mrs. Hugo Trimberger. They also received well-wishes and calls from numerous friends and relatives.
