GoldenlWedding Celebrated
Mr. and Mrs. John Behlen,
Sr., celebrated their golden
wedding auniversary last Thurs-
day at their comfortable home in
Shiner. We should say that
their children and relatives cel-
ebrated for thorn. Weeks before
letters commenced to arrive
notifying the honorees of pirns of
the connection te meet in a spend
the day reunion on this day, and
they came. Relatives from Wei-
mar, Moulton, Cuero, Stockdale,
Yoakum, Cost, San Antonio and
other towns until 114 had regis-
tered. No invitations were is-
sued,‘those who were near and
dear made it a memorable occa-
sion.
John Behlen, Sr. and Miss
Ann Mueller were married in
Oldenburg, Germany. June 19th,
1874. They came to America in
1880, locating at Weimar. Later
they moved to Lavaca County,
living here twenty years and re-
siding in the town of Shiner
fourteen years. Two sons and a
daughter were present to honor
the wedding anniversary, and
fourteen grand children.
The sons are John Behlen, Jr.
of San Antonio, Gebren Behlen
of Cost, Texas and Mrs. Chas.
Flessuer of Moulton, Texas.
Mr. Behlen will be 75 years
old next October, and his devot
ed companion will be 74 next
January. They are both devout
members of the United DrJ Mar-
tin Luther Church-
They live quietly and comfort-
ably in their home in Shiner,
both seeming in the best of
health and yery active in their
home and church circle. They
are among the most prominent
and substantial of the city’s old-
er settlers. Quite ! a few gifts
were in evidence, among them a
beautiful golden frame, encircl-
ing a gilded wreath, within the
circle, a lithographed marriage
certificate, with wedding bells.
This came from Weimar rela.
tives. Refreshments in abund-
ance were served throughout
the day. The Gazette offers
heartfeit congratulations and
may they live much longer and
enjoy many more golden year.-
of wedded bliss.

J. C. BLOHM & SON
With Mrs. Gehrels as a pleas-
ing hostess, the members of the
Methodist Aid Society and a
number of invited guests spent
a most pleasant afternoon last
Wednesday. After a song and
prayer the business was dispos-
ed of and it was decided to lower
the church seats and haye some
new ones made.
Before beginning the lesson
Miss Louise Thulemeyer gave a
brief but interesting history of
the book of Joshua, laying stress
on the fact that the key word is
redemption with the emphasis
put upon possession while re-
demption in Exodus put the
stress upon deliverance. The
two make full redemption, which
requires being “brought out’*
and “brought in,” typifying the
Children of Israel being brought
out of captivity and into the
promised land, the latter being
the subject of the days lesson.
The attrnctive dining room
was thrown open and very
tempting refreshments consist-
ing of sandwiches and cake were
served, netting the sum of six
dollars. Miss Louise Thule-
meyer rendered several numbers
on the piano, which added to the
enjoyment of the afternoon.
