Mr. and Mrs. [Mary Ann "Mollie" (Hatcher)] Haas were married in Green (sic, should be Greene) county [IA], December 21 in 1890 and lived there until the moved to Lamoni in 1894. Since that time they have been valued citizens of this community. Mr. Haas contributed to the civic life of Lamoni by serving on the city council for a number of years. The couple have three children, Mrs. Loren [Flava] Truman, of Wray, Colo.; Mrs. C. E. [Myrtle] Gibson and Mrs. Jeannette Ivy, of Lamoni.

The picture below was taken on Mr. and Mrs. Haas' wedding day 50 years ago.

For each year of married life
There rings a little bell
It rings shrilly at the first,
But with each passing year
The ringing grows more mellow
Until there rings a special bell,
A golden bell, to tell
That fifty years have passed.

A Toast -
To two of the nicest people we know
From all of the people they know
Wishing them good luck and good cheer
For many and many another year.
