The cake baked and decorated for the occasion was done by Mrs. Lucy Hetzel and Mrs. Flossie Schmidtke, respectively. Mrs. Benedict pinned a corsage of gold-flecked red roses to her dress which she donned for the happy occasion, and Mr. Benedict had a carnation sprayed with gold for his boutonnier. The date of their original wedding was Jan. 17, 1913. At the present time, Mr. Benedict is serving as state bee inspector.
