Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kuester, Loyal (Clark Co., Wis.), celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary on Saturday, Nov. 14, 1953 at the Legion Hall in Thorp.

The Kuesters were married in the Town of Warner by Rev. J. Schmalz. Mrs. Kuester is the former Alvina Brandt. Following their marriage they lived on a farm in the Town of Warner for 41 years and then moved to Loyal, their present home.
