Fiftieth Anniversary Ob--
served at Their Residence
in Cross Street, First Dis-
trict
Yesterday marked the fiftieth anni-
versary of the wedding of Mr. and,
Mrs. John Engelhardt, of 33 Crossg
street Norwaik. The happy couple‘
had intended to observe the day quiet;
ly. but’ the members of the Ladies' Aid i
Society of St. Peter‘s Lutheran
church, of which the bride is a mem-
ber, were of the opinion that a little
noise to break the quiet observance
of the day would not be amiss. and. in
consequence, launched a complete sur-
prise on the unsuspecting pair. Mr.
and Mrs. Engelhardt. who are both- far
beyond the age of “three score and
ten." were married on August 19th.
1869, at St. Matthew‘s Lutheran
church, Brooklyn. N. Y., and have
been residents of this city since that,
time. They are both enjoying the besti
of health and their half century of
married life has been extremely hap-
py. Many sincere wishes for the fu-
ture happiness of the bride and bride-
groom were expressed, who were also
the recipients of a number of valuable
gifts tendered them by their daugh-
ter Emily, their nieces, who make
their home with them. and the Lndles'
Aid Society. . Pastor Steup read the
beautiful Golden Wedding service of
the Lutheran church. pad Mike _ , u
