«b»Jackson Couple Observes Golden Wedding
«/b»Mr and Mrs John Donwen Entertained Many Guests at Their Home in Highland Park.
Children Served Four Course Dinner at Noon
Open House Kept During Afternoon and Evening when Friends Called on Honored Couple
The privilege of spending fifty years of happy wedded life together comes to but few of the citizens of Jackson, however, two of our city's most honored and beloved residents enjoyed that distinction on Sunday, when Mr and Mrs John Donwen celebrated the anniversary of their golden wedding surrounded by their children and many friends.
For many weeks the celebration of this great privilege had been uppermost in the minds of the children of Mr and Mrs Donwen, and during the whisperings and preparations, it is not a wonder that the curiosity of the parents had not been somewhat attracted by the secrecy as their children went about making plans for the gala affair.
While January 12th was the exact date for celebrating the happy event, it was decided that Sunday would be more appropriate in order that all of the children and their families might be present to join in the happy festivities, so Sunday, January 14th, was set for the celebration and it is certain that the date will long linger in the minds of Mr and Mrs Donwen and their excellent family as a happy memory in the years that are yet before them.
Fifty years marks a long span in life's journey, yet from the sparkle in the eyes of the honored couple, life had been years of sweetness and joy since the day, long ago, that Mr Donwen led his young bride to the alter when they plighted their vows to love and honor, promised that have been well kept during the succeeding years that have intervened. Years of good citizenship, service to their loved ones, their country, and the community that they have honored by calling home.
To raise a family of excellent boys and girls, to be of service to their neighbours, is a mission of fifty years that Mr and Mrs Donwen can look backward to without a single regret, indeed, a wonderful accomplishment, and a source of supreme happiness and content that will make the years yet to come restful and pleasant in the knowledge that they have given their full measure of duty to home, country and friends.
The program of the happy celebration opened Sunday at eight o'clock at Saint Wenceslaus' Catholic church when high mass was sung in their honor, the Rev. A. V. Duda, pastor. Having charge of the service. The church was decorate in yellow and white with large bouquets of chrysanthemums in evidence. During the mass Miss Josephine Pribyl sang "Ave Maria" accompanied on the violin by Mr Albert Blizek, with Mrs Harold Maloney presiding at the pipe organ. Following the services at the church the Donwen party went to the home of their son, William on Terrace Drive, where a wedding breakfast was served.
The Donwen home in Highland Park was also prettily decorated in gold and white, and at noon fifty three relatives were present at a delicious four course dinner served by the children of Mr and Mrs Donwen. The colors of gold and white were used throughout the entire menu. Mr Kiley of Cullom, Illinois acted as toastmaster at which time responses and congratulations were extended.
The afternoon was spent in visiting and at which time Mr and Mrs Donwen were the recipients of many beautiful gifts in remembrance of the happy occasion, together with numerous telegrams and letters of congratulation.
John Donwen was born at Wincheringen, Germany, October 6 1855, and immigrated to America in 1882. Miss Mary Schmidt was born in Alsace Lorraine, Germany, on July 12 1860, and to their union twelve children were born, four of whom are deceased. The children were all present to assist their parents in celebrating their golden wedding with the exception of Mrs. S Weisenhofer of Hastings, Michigan, who was unable attend. Those present were J. P. Donwen, Enterprise township; N.F. Donwen, Des Moines township; Mrs L. J. Soucek, Minneapolis; William Donwen, Jackson; Mrs O. E. Verdick, Wisconsin township; Mrs Joe Maras, Enterprise township.
Mr and Mrs Donwen came to Jackson county in 1911 from their home in Illinois, and settled on a farm in the Wisconsin township, but in 1920 retired from the farm and purchased their present beautiful home in Highland Park, where friends and neighbours will hope they may live many years of continued happiness.
Other guest and relatives who attended the celebration Sunday were James Bergan and daughter, Miss Mary of Harvey, Illinois; William Schafroth of Cabery, Illinois, who was present at Mr and Mrs Donwen's wedding fifty years ago; Miss Adelaide Soucek of Minneapolis; Mr and Mrs R J Kiley and son Eugene of Cullom, Illinois; Mrs May Bitz of Minneapolis; Mr and Mrs Albert Benson and sons, Roland and Richard of Fairibault.
Mr and Mrs Donwen held open house at their home in Highland Park from 3 to 5 and from 7 to 9 o'clock during which time many friends called t extend to them hearty congratulations.
The Pilot can think of none among it's large circle of friends in Jackson county that are more worthy of the zens than Mr and Mrs Donwen, and honors received by these splendid citizens is happy at this time to join with hundreds of other friends in wishing them continued health and happiness.
