      Pastor and Wife Are 50 Years Wed

      An interesting event took place Sunday when Rev. and Mrs. Orphen Wismer of Baden celebrated their golden anniversary. They has as attendants 50 years ago Mr. And Mrs. N. Snyder of Stasburg and they attended Sunday's anniversary. All of Mr. And Mrs. Wismer's eight children are living. Seven were present Sunday, Bryon of McCallsbury, Iowa, Mrs. Isaac Snyder of Baden, Herbert of Baden, Elmer of Kitchener, Jerry of Ayr, and Mrs. Lorne Shantz of Baden. Milton of Windsor was not able to attend. Dinner was served at Forest Hill Gardens, after which the family spent the afternoon at the old homestead near Baden, where their son Herbert now resides. Mr. and Mrs. Wismer were presented with two lovely gifts, one from the family and one from Mr. And Mrs. Snyder, for which Mr. Wismer gave hearty thanks.
