Nottawa News

On January 13, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Yuncker celebrated their silver wedding which was an enjoyable occasion. There were eight out of their nine living children present, 6 grandchildren and over one hundred friends and neighbors. The married folks were there the first day and the young folks the next evening. The music and singing was good. The music for dancing was furnished by Joseph Voisin and the Pohl Brothers and was enjoyed by old and young until the wee small hours of the morning. The gifts were numerous and splendid. The guests were served with a sumptuous dinner and supper and such other refreshments as were necessary to the occasion.
