Larsen, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold (50th Anniversary - 16 October 1983)

Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Larsen of Birnamwood, formerly of Owen, observed their golden wedding anniversary October 16 in Stevens Point.

Dr. and Mrs. John Larsen hosted a cocktail party for their parents, relatives and friends, and the anniversary couple entertained at a buffet dinner at the Sky Club for their guests.

The Larsens have three children, Dr. John Larsen, Stevens Point; Mrs. John (Patricia) Young, Grosse Pointe, Michigan; and Mrs. David (Patricia) Weller. Elkhart Lake. There are 15 grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.
