      61st WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED AT ROSEVILLE

      ELEVEN CHILDREN MEET WITH AGED PARENTS.

      A unique birthday party was celebrated on New Year's day at Roseville, when Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Bricker celebrated the 61st anniversary of their wedding day. The event was marked by a reunion of all the eleven sons and daughters, viz:- Mrs. Daniel Snyder of Roseville; George and Elijah and Mrs. Abram Bricker of Yale, Mich.; Mrs. Groff, Mrs. Detweiler, Noah, Menno and John of Roseville; Mrs. Cassel of New Hamburg and Amos Bricker of Berlin. The oldest of the children is Mrs. Snyder of Roseville, who is 60 years of age.

      John, the youngest is 37. It is 46 years since a member of the family has been removed by death. Needless to say the day was one of peaceful enjoyment to both parents and children, who spent the hours in a social way. Mr. Cassel made an appropriate address, extending congratulations to the aged couple.
