Recalling memories of fifty years ago
and surrounded by happy company Of
children, grand children and personal
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Kraut-
kramer, we'll known among the pioneer
residents of the north side of the city,
celebrated their golden wedding at
their home on Grant street today. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Krautkramer have been
residents of Kenosha for more than
seventy years and the observance of
the fftieth anniversary of their mar
rage was an event of unusual interest
to the people of that part of the city.
Fifty years ago at nine o'clock this
morning Mr.. Krautkramer led Eliza
zeth Lindemann to the altar in old ST..
George church and the wedding service
which united them for life was read
by the Rev. J. Wetter, one Of the pio-
neer pastors of the big German congre-
cation.
AT the same hour this morning Mr.
and Mrs. Krautkramer, just a little
older, approached the altar of the
church again and the ceremony which
reunited them after the half century
was performed by the Rev. Father
Nickel. Not one of the people who had
attended them as bride and groom fifty
years ago is now living and in their
place walked with the bride and groom
two little grand daughters, Dorothy
Krautkramer Of Kenosha, and Corrinne
Wolpers of Winona, Mimi, and two
grand sons, Harold Schultz, and Robert
Tully, both Of Kenosha.
Fully three hundred members Of st.
George congregation, all of them
friends Of Mr.. and Mrs. Klrautkramer,
attended the ceremony at the church
Special music was rendered by the
church choir and in honor Of the event
the church was decorated with plants
and flowers.
Harry Krautkramer of Kenosha and
Arthur Eppers of Chicago, acted as
ushers at the wedding.
Following the ceremony at the
church Mr.. and Mrs Krautkramer were
at home to large number of their
friends during the day. At noon a wed
ding dinner was served at which COW
ers were laid for more than hundred
and fifty guests. At the dinner Mr.
and Mrs. Krautkramer and a few of
their very close friends sat down at
the same walnut table that they had
used when they went to housekeeping
fifty years ago and about it were the
chairs which had been used in the
honeymoon days. On the table were
several pieces of china and glassware
which had been given to them as wed
ding presents way back in the war
time days.
ALI of their children were present at
the wedding anniversary and with
them were sixteen grand children and
two great grand children. The children
were Mrs. Joseph Schultz of Kenosha,
Mrs. Michael Eppers Of Chicago, Mrs
Henry Wolpers of Winona, Mimi, Mrs.
Joseph W. Tully Of Kenosha, William
JKrautkramer of Chicago, and George
Krautkramer of Kenosha. Following
the dinner there were toasts to the con-
tinued health Of the bride and groom
of fifty years ago. In the afternoon
Mr.. and Mrs. Krautkramer received in
formally and many of their friends
from Kenosha and other cities called
to extend congratulations. This even
ing luncheon will be served.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Krautkramer are
past seventy years of age. They are
both natives of Germany, but they
came to Kenosha when they were
children and they have spent practical
ly their entire life in Kenosha. They
have been active in the affairs of st.
George congregation and are among the
most highly respected of the people of
the north side of the city.
