Mr. and Mrs. John Kerper

Invitations have been received by friends in this city to attend the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. John Kerper next Wednesday, Feb. 12, at the home of Bernard Kerper, near New Wine. This remarkable couple has been residents of this county for half a century, and is the most highly respected people of Dubuque County. Their children are Messr. Bernard, Joseph and Tony Kerper, all of New Wine. The gathering at this golden wedding will bring many friends of these old settlers from many parts of the county to the rounding out of the half century of martial life of two of Iowa’s best people.
