John Harnacks Celebrate Their Golden Wedding

Were Married Fifty Years Ago and Have Always Resided Hereabouts

On Sunday last Mr. and Mrs. John Harnack of this city celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their home in a quiet matter [sic].

The maiden name of the bride was Miss Maggie Thoma, she being a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Thoma. The groom of a half century ago was John Harnack, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Christ Harnack, and was born in Garnavillo, Oct. 29, 1857.

They were married in Postville, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Christ Harnack, April 14, 1885, the Rev. J. Gass officiating.

Mr. and Mrs. Harnack settled down to housekeeping on a farm near Postville, where they resided twelve years, and then moved to Postville, which has since been their home.

They have one daughter, Hulda, (Mrs. Fred J. Miller) who with her husband reside in the Harnack home.

Mr. Harnack is 77 years of age and his wife 70, yet both of them are enjoying the best of health.

During their many years of residence in this city and locality Mr. and Mrs. Harnack by their genial and friendly ways have drawn about them an ever-widening circle of admiring friends, with whom the Herald joins in extending hearty congratulations on their golden wedding anniversary and all hope that in health they may be with us to celebrate numerous other anniversaries of their wedding day.
