Volz, Mr. and Mrs. Robert (Golden - 2 October 1963)

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Volz of Wisconsin Rapids returned to Neillsville - their life long-time home - to hold an open house Sunday afternoon in connection with the observance of their golden wedding anniversary.

Many friends from the Neillsville area where they made their home for so many years were present for the open house held in the American Legion Memorial Hall.  A three-tiered anniversary cake, decorated with white roses and yellow chrysanthemums was made for the occasion by their daughter-in-law, Mrs. Gerald Volz of City Point.  Music was provided during the afternoon by Mrs. Alma Evanson and by Connie and Pam Christianson of City Point.

Mr. and Mrs. Volz received many remembrances, including a purse of money.

All except one of their 11 children were present for the event.  Absent was Mrs. John (Marcella) Adams of Richmond, Calif.

Those present included: George of Wisconsin Rapids; Mrs. William (Florence) Kopp of Cambridge; Harry, Wilbur, Mrs. Stanley (Delores) Rosenthal and Raymond, all of Wisconsin Rapids; Willis of Neillsville; Gerald of City Point; Mrs. Roger (Iva) Northup of Chicago, Ill.; and Lester of Black River Falls; also Fred Volz, a brother, and his wife of Madison.

The Volzs were married October 2, 1913, in Baraboo. Two weeks later they came to Clark County, arriving in Neillsville October 16, 1913, and settled on a farm in the town of Washburn. They remained there until a few years ago, when they moved to Wisconsin Rapids.

Mr. Volz was born in Sauk County on November 17, 1883; and Mrs. Volz, the former Velmer Linton, was born May 30, 1894, in Grant County.
