“We were fortunate enough to receive an invitation to attend the silver wedding of Mr. and Mrs. F. Eberlein, on the evening of Jan’y 2, 1883, at their residence in the first ward of this city. When we arrived at the house we found quite a large and happy crowd, where we were received by our host and hostess. The Bavarian Brass Band, of Tigerton, was in attendance and furnished some fine music. The gifts were many and valuable. The evening was spent in conversation and dancing, about 11 o’clock, the guests were invited to supper, which was gotten up in the finest style, the tables loaded to overflowing with the good things of this earth. After supper congratulations were in order, and it seemed to be the wish of all that Mr. and Mrs. Eberlein live to celebrate their golden wedding.
