Golden Wedding Anniversary.
LIE Sueur Center Leader Democrat:
An event of more than usual interest
took place at the l. o. o. F. hall on
Friday evening of last week when
and the Rebeccas gathered to help Mr..
and Mrs. Perry Nittrowr celebrate
their fiftieth, or golden wedding ami
versary. There was goodly number
of members of both orders present to
help make this an enjoyable event for
these estimable folks, as well as one
to be- pleasantly remembered >by all
taking part The wedding ceremony
was performed with Judge Rau Off
ciating, and the participants again
renewed the vows taken fifty years
ago when they were married in Tiago
county, Pennsylvania, on October 9,
1871. Mr.. and Mrs Nittrowr were
each presented with $40 gold piece
by members Of the orders as remem-
brances of the occasion. Following
the ceremony dancing afforded enter
tainment and nice lunch served
added to the completeness Of the ev-
ening.
Mr.. Nittrowr will be seventy two in
December and Mrs. Nittrowr is now
sixty seven. They came west to
Mankato in 1891, where they resided
for three years and then went to Wa
terville, and later to Eagle Lake, from
which place they came to LIE Sueur
Center about thirteen years ago. Since
locating here Mr.. Nittrowr has been
engaged in the manufacture of the
we'll known Eagle Lake Tanning mill,
saw mill work and other similar en-
deavors. The Eagle Lake mill has al
ways had reputation of being an ex-
cellent machine, If not entirely the
best one of all makes on the market,
and they have been sold over a wide
territory. Just previous to the out
break of the war, Mr.. Nittrowr had
sold his plant and patent rights here,
but the sale had to be called off, due,
subject to service. So he has been
operating as usual up to the present.
Mr.. and Mrs. NittroWr are the par
ents of three children, two sons and
a daughter, all of whom passed away
after attaining their majority.
Local friends hope that the princi-
pals of this golden anniversary may
be permitted to celebrate many more
wedding anniversaries Of equally hap
py proportions as the one just OBJ
served.
