Gregorich, Mr. and Mrs. Joe (Golden – 3 August 1982)
Joe and Julia Gregorich, 200 East Division St., Greenwood, celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary on Sunday, August 8. The day began with a morning
mass, which was followed by an open house and a dance.
The mass included music by the adult choir. The dinner for 60, served at the
Greenwood American Legion Hall, included potica and a large, waterfall cake. The
open house was held at St. Mary’ hall and the dance was at the Legion Hall.
Joe Gregorich and Julia Tomac were married on August 3, 1932, at Holy Family
Catholic Church in Willard by the Rev. John Novak. (Attending the anniversary
gathering were Mary Mass of Withee and Frank Jeras of California, both original
attendants for the couple.)

The couple lived on a farm three miles north of Greenwood and then moved to a

Chicago and resided there for a couple of years. They are now retired.
