    • Silver Wedding - Gadshill, Nov. 12th, 1903

      The home of Mr. John E. Ratz, in Gadshill, was the scene of a brilliant and happy gathering yesterday the occasion being the twenty-fifth anniversary of the marriage of that respected couple. The assemblage was in the nature of a surprise and most admirably it succeeded. Mr. and Mrs. Ratz were lured away from home for an hour or two and on their return they drove up to the house to find nearly one hundred of their relatives gathered on their porch to greet them. On entering they found the dinner tables spread and the magnificent display of presents neatly arranged. Among the visitors were all of Mr. Ratz' brothers and sisters, except one, while Mrs. Ratz' family were as also fully represented. Messrs. and Mesdames Ed. E. Ratz, John Hill, Otto, Louis and John Fleischhauer, of Wellesley village were among the number present. The silver wedding ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Edy. The wedding march being played by Miss Alma Kalbfleisch of Tavistock and then the large company gathered around the loaded tables, eight or ten nieces, dressed in white, acting as waitresses Then came the address of congratulation and affection, accompanied by the presentation of a splendid Berlin piano, a magnificent silver service, a marble clock, etc. Mr. Ratz replied to the address in a touching manner. An enjoyable program of vocal and instrumental music followed which was taken part in by the Misses McDougall, of Berlin, Messrs. Wettlaufer, of Stratford, and others. The day was most enjoyably spent and the gathering broke up at dusk, although some of the brothers and sisters who had come from Michigan and distant points in Ontario remained over for a day or two to continue their visit.
