Andersen, Charlie & Margaret (50th - 29 NOV 1955)

 

On Tuesday evening, Nov. 29th, 1955, Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Andersen, Withee (Clark Co., Wis.) celebrated their 50th Wedding anniversary at their home in observance of their Golden Wedding Anniversary.

 

The couple were remembered by friends and relatives the previous Sunday when special services were held at Nazareth Lutheran Church with Rev.’s W. Clayton Nielsen and J.L.J. Dixen officiating..  Later a dinner was served in the Assembly Hall, followed by a program and a supper in the evening.

 

Charlie Andersen and the former Margaret Miller were married on Nov. 29, 1905, in a ceremony performed at the Jens Miller farm in the town of Hixon.  Shortly after their marriage the couple moved to a farm four miles north of Withee, where they resided for 12 years prior to moving to the Jens Miller farm.  Then for 19 years the couple operated a 40 acre farm located on-half mile north and one-half mile west of the Frenchtown School, living here until their retirement five years ago when they moved to their present home.

 

Of the many guests they received at the "open house" program, only two of them, Clara Christensen and Mrs. H. P. Hansen, were present at the wedding ceremony 50 years ago.

 

The couple have two children, one daughter, Mrs. Andrew (Elenora) Christensen, Withee, and one son, Edward, also of Withee, and three grandchildren, Charlie, Edith and Lee Christensen.
