GOLDEN WEDDING AT
S.. HARMELING HOME

Monday, April 18th, was the
fsftieth wedding anniversary of
Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen j. Harmel-
ing, and the occasion was fitting
ly observed at their beautiful
home just East of yashon. AT
that time they had with them ev-
eryone of their nine living child
rem, the tenth and eldest being
asleep in that rest of Eternity.
The children started coming
last week, and by Sunday the last
one had arrived. 1t is seldom, if
ever, a large family of nine child
rem meet under the same roof
which sheltefs the heads of the
same parents who started life in
the dim past Of half a century
But the remarkable thing of it all
is that not one of the large fam
lily has even bordered on being
the proverbial "black sheep. .
Every onceof the nine children
is not only normal in physique
but in mentality and morality as
well.
