Hemmy, Mr. & Mrs. Peter (Gold - 18 MAR 1947)

 

Tuesday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Peter A. Hemmy celebrated their golden wedding anniversary by holding a reception at their home from 2:00 until 4:00 o’clock, and during that period over one hundred friends from near and far greeted and congratulated the bride and groom of fifty years ago.

 

Here to assist in observing this anniversary were their three children: Mrs. Mabel Gasser of Baraboo, Wallace of Mondovi and Howard of Melrose, and their families.  There are seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild, all of whom were present at the golden wedding.  Another guest present was Mrs. Hemmy’s sister, Mrs. Marie Joos of Jamestown, N.D., who was bridesmaid at the wedding fifty years ago.  Her husband was also present at the anniversary.  Mrs. Hemmy wore a silk gown Tuesday afternoon and evening, made from silk which her grandson, Dale Hemmy, brought from Korea on his return from the service.  Mrs. Hemmy made the dress especially for this occasion.

 

Peter A. Hemmy and Miss Emma Zerbel, both natives of Sauk County, were married at Denzer on March 18, 1897.  In the fall of 1900 they purchased the farm in the town of Alma, which they occupied until 1943, when they purchased and moved into their present home in this village.

 

Mr. Hemmy identified himself with various cooperative movements during his days of activity on the farm.  He has been active also in civic affairs, serving the town of Alma as chairman, as well as other positions of trust.  He served four terms as assemblyman from Jackson County, and was for a number of years chairman of the conservation committee.
