West Montrose Couple Celebrates Golden Wedding

Mr. and Mrs. George S. Miller Spent Honeymoon 50 years Ago at Niagara Falls and Buffalo

Mr. and Mrs. George Miller of West Montrose on Tuesday celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at the home of their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Geisel. Before her marriage, Mrs. Miller was Miss Catherine Peppler, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Peppler, and she was married at the home of her parents in West Montrose, the same house in which she celebrated her golden wedding on Tuesday. Mr. Miller was born a mile east of Elmira, a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Miller. Rev. A. R. Schultz, the pastor of St. James Lutheran Church, Elmira, in that period, performed the wedding ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were attended by the latter's sister, the late Mrs. David Lichty, and Mr. George Kuhl, who recently celebrated his 80^th birthday. Mr. Kuhl was among the guests of honor at the anniversary festivities. After the honeymoon, Mr. and Mrs. Miller took up residence at the home of the bridegroom's parents, where they resided for a number of years. Later they moved to Elmira. Three years later they moved to the homestead of the bride's parents, which they farmed until it was purchased by their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Geisel, with whom they reside. Mr. Miller recalls that when he started farming the binder was not yet in use in this part of the country, the self-rake reaper being in use. He remembers the time when threshing was done by horsepower. Although he never used oxen himself he remembers seeing them used. Mrs. Miller also finds that many new devices, that make the household tasks easier, have come into use since she was a bride. She washed her clothes by using a wash board and lighted her house with lamps. When the doctor was needed a horse had to be harnessed and somebody had to drive to get him because there were no telephones in those days. Mr. Miller was 76 last April and Mrs. Miller was 75 in June and both are in excellent health, able to do the work of their apartment in their daughter's home and able to go visiting frequently to the homes of their other children, all of whom reside near the old home. In their family there are four children and 10 grandchildren. These children are: Mrs. Perry Woods, near Conestogo; Mrs. Herbert Reist near Elmira; Mrs. Edward Geisel at West Montrose, and Mr. Clayton Miller, near Elmira.
