Golden Wedding Anniversary.
There was a very pleasant gathering at the home of Peter P. Hamre in Springfield township last Sunday. The occasion was one which occurs in the life of very few people and one which is always worthy of celebration—that of a golden wedding anniversary. The anniversary really occurred on Wednesday last, but in order that their friends and neighbors might more easily share in the festivities, the celebration was held last Sunday. The acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. Hamre began on board ship in 1850 when they were coming to America. Until 1852 they resided in Koshkonong, Wis. In that year they came to Winneshiek county and were married in 1854 by Dr. V. Koren. To this union eleven children were born, seven of whom are living. As a parting token of regard and esteem in which those good people are held, the guests left them $90 in gold.
