Stevens, Mr. and Mrs. Irving (40th - 26 November 1959)

 

Abot 50 relatives and close friends helped Mr. and Mrs. Irving Sevens celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary at their home Friday evening. Their anniversary was the 26th but that being Thanksgiving Day; the party was planned for a day later.  The evening was spent visiting and some of the men played cards.

 

The ladies took food, and a lunch was served.  A wedding cake, made by Mrs. Robert Mortenson, was the center piece.  The couple was presented with cards and money in remembrance of the occasion. 

 

They have three daughters: Mrs. Leland (Eileen) Dopp, Marshfield; Mrs. Jack (Ione) Urban, Rt. 1 Neillsville; and Mrs. Wallace (Joanne) Krause, Milwaukee.  All were present at the anniversary party. They also have six granddaughters.

 

Gladys Winters, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Winters, and Irving Stevens, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Stevens, were quietly married November 26, 1919, in Neillsville, at the Methodist parsonage, with the Rev. Lewis Coleman, then pastor, officiating.  Mrs. Coleman and the late Mrs. Charles Seif were witnesses.

 

They surprised their relatives and friends by their elopement.  They spent a few days honeymooning in the southern part of the state.

 

They have spent all their married life near Shortville.
