Warns, Fred & Katherina (54^th - 12 OCT 1952)

On Sunday, Oct 12^th, 1952, Mr. Fred Warns and his wife Katherina celebrated their 54^th wedding anniversary.

They were married in Milwaukee, had 10 children, three of whom died in infancy, but the other seven were with them to celebrate the anniversary.  They have 15 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.  This family has lived at Withee (Clark Co., Wis.) for the past 47 years.  During most of the day the family re-unioned at the old homestead, and concluded the celebration with a chicken dinner at the Miru.  Almost as soon as they sat down at the table they began to sing, and continued as long as they were there.  After the dinner they expressed their joy and happiness in the occasion by dancing as well as singing.  All members of this large family have contributed much to the welfare and growth of this community, and although some of them have moved to other localities they still consider this home.
