Buchholz, Mr./Mrs. Fred (Golden – 20 January 1975)

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Buchholz, Rt. 3 Neillsville, were honored Saturday evening, January 18, with a card party in observance of their 50th wedding anniversary. The event was held at the Dairyland Fox and Coon Hunters clubhouse.

Fred Buchholz and the former Mabel Morse were married January 20, 1925, in Neillsville and have farmed in the Christie area for most of their married life.

The couple retired in 1966 and built their present home on County Trunk H west of Christie. A son, Richard, now operates the home farm. They are members of the Christie United Methodist Church.

All of the Buchholz’s six children were expected to be present for the anniversary observance.
