Mashin, Mr. and Mrs. George (Reunion – 14 July 1979)

Mr. and Mrs. George Machine were overwhelmed with surprise on Saturday afternoon, July 14, as relatives, neighbors and friends gathered at Snyder’s Park in honor of their golden wedding anniversary.

The event was planned by Mr./Mrs. Al Mashin, Neillsville, who picked them up at their home to take them out for a dinner at a supper club… Or so they were told. Instead, they drove with them to the park, where they were greeted by over 100 persons, who helped them celebrate 50 years of wedded life. It was a time to renew old acquaintances and enjoy the fine picnicking area. The day was warm and humid but a cooling breeze from the lake came in over the gathering. A potluck dinner was served with coffee. The tables were spread with a variety of fine food.

George and Dorothea Marie Schroeder were married July 17, 1929, in Elkader, Ia., in the parsonage of the Rev. Franke. The couple resided with Dorothea’s mother until 1932 when they moved to the Columbia area. George worked with the Iowa Highway Dept., for just over a year prior to moving to Columbia.

The couple farmed for a year, then moved to the town of Hewett. He then worked for the WPA for a year. George’s other employment includes seven years with the Clark County Highway Dept., four years with Plautz Brothers and eleven years with the Clark County Dept. of Forestry and Parks. After his retirement, he worked parttime for the Town of Seif as a patrolman. George was born on October 20, 1905, to Vincent and Marty Mashin in Columbia. Dorothea was born on January 23, 1913, in Guttenberg, Ia.
