------ Thede, Mr. & Mrs. Edmund (Gold - 7 APR 1965)

Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Thede of Abbotsford celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on Saturday, April 10, with their two sons and daughters-in-law.  The afternoon and evening were spent at the Thede home and dinner was served at the Florena Club at Medford.

Mr. and Mrs. Thede have been residents of Abbots for since 1958 upon his retirement and both are in fair health.

Mr. Thede was born in Cavalier, N. Dak., Oct. 25, 1888, the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Thede.  At the age of seven, after the accidental death of his father, his mother and the family moved to New Holstein where he was educated.  He was employed there for a milling company for six years and for the New Holstein Canning Co.

Mrs. Thede, the former Hattie Winkel, was born Jan. 8, 1894, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Winkel, at Stockridge.  When she was 10 years old, the family moved to New Holstein.

On April 7, 1915, the marriage of Hattie Winkel and Edmund Thede took place at the United Church of Christ at New Holstein with Hedwig Thede and Herman Winkel at attendants and the Rev. A. C. Plappert officiating.

After their marriage they purchased a farm west of Colby and transferred their membership to the United Church of Christ of Colby where they have been members continuously.

Besides farming, Mr. Thede was field superintendent for various canning factories at Colby, Dorchester and Medford for about 22 years.

The Thedes have two sons, LeRoy, who lives at Abbotsford and Vilas who owns the home farm.

The anniversary date was made more memorable by the surprise visit of Mr. Thede’s brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Jochimsen, of New Holstein who came on Tuesday and returned the following day.
