Leander and Julia Schuld, Neillsville, were married 60 years ago on Sunday, May 11. They celebrated the event with their seven children, most of their 27 grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren at a Saturday, May 10, dinner at the Moonlite Inn and later at the home of one of their daughters and son-in-law, Margaret and Norb Schlegelmilch.

The couple were married in St. Andrew’s Church, Rozellville, he the son of Simon and Theresa Schuld of Loyal and she was the daughter of John and Margaret Weber of Rozellville. Attendants at the wedding were Julia’s sister and brother, Margaret (Weber) Gall and Joseph Weber, and Leander’s niece and nephew, Josephine (Bauer) Zimmerman and Edwin Gall.

The couple operated a farm, south of Loyal for 25 years, a farm where Leander was raised. In 1945, they purchased their present home on the northside of Neillsville. Leander was employed as a janitor for St. Mary’s Catholic Church for nearly 15 years and later worked at the Neillsville Foundry.
