SILVER ANNIVERSARY

Mr. and Mrs. J.F. Ullrich Celebrate an Important Date in Their Wedded Life

Mr. and Mrs. Jos. F. Ullrich, of the town of Worthington , on Thursday of last week celebrated the silver or 25th anniversary of their marriage, which occurred at Freemont Centre , Ill. , on Oct. 24th, 1882 . A large number of invitations had been sent out, which were freely responded to, and about 75 of their relatives and friends assembled to assist in the festivities, among whom were the following from Worthington :

Rev. Father John Sherman, Dr. and Mrs. C.P. Dolan, Miss Glasgow, A.M. Renner, Misses Calara and Myrtle Maine and P.J. Martin. Mr. and Mrs. Ullrich received a large collection of handsome and appropriate presents as reminders of the occasion.

Joseph F. Ullrich is one of Nobles county's most substantial and progressive farmers. He and his estimable spouse came to this county nineteen years ago and they have developed one of the finest farm homes in the county, and have become noted far and wide for their genial hospitality. Mr. Ullrich has during the past summer remodeled and enlarged his residence and fitted it up with many modern conveniences at an expense of several thousand dollars, and they have a home that is excelled by few if any at the county capital. While they have been fortunate in a material way, as the result of industry and thrift, they have been equally blessed in their home life, as nine interesting children have been given them to gladden their hearts.

It is always a pleasure to record such anniversaries as these, and the Advance takes pleasure in joining the many friends of the worthy couple in wishing them a long life and a continuance of the blessings which they have heretofore enjoyed.
