A rare and beautiful occasion was celebrated on December 20 by a large group of friends and relatives who gathered at the Roehlk home on Guilford street [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] to honor Mr. and Mrs. Jens A. Roehlk, who celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary on December 21. About thirty met to pay their respects to the beloved couple and to wish them many more years of happiness together. A buffet luncheon was served from a table, beautifully decorated with crystal candelabra and yellow tapers with bouquets of white pompons. A lovely cake in yellow and white with gold leaves centered the table and added to the general attractive atmosphere. Highlight of the luncheon was a favorite sponge cake made by Mrs. Roehlk. Beloved by their friends, which number most of the residents of this village, Mr. and Mrs. Roehlk have lived in Bainbridge for 43 of their 50 wedded years, arriving here from St. Charles, Ill., when Mr. Roehlk was sent here as superintendent of the sugar milk plant. Before her marriage, Mrs. Roehlk was Anna Anderson, a native of Sweden; Mr. Roehlk was born in Denmark. Both came to this country as young people. Upon Mr. Roehlk's retirement from the sugar factory, he purchased the John Patchin farm where he now lives, and later went into the retail milk business with his only son, Moritz. A short time ago, the Roehlks purchased the Beatty farm where Moritz now resides. The evening included a program of entertainment provided by the Rev. and Mrs. Paul Hulslander who sang two duets, "Through the Years" and "Tell Me that You Love Me." Mrs. Harry Whitney, prior to the presentation of a purse of money to Mr. and Mrs. Roehlk addressed them as follows: "As we become older, I think we enjoy reminiscing thinking of the friends we knew years ago. We like meeting new people and enjoy our new friends, but somehow the old friends, especially those we have kept through the years are a little closer, like relatives--closer than some relative. The friends we are honoring today, I have known over forty years. They have been with us in joys and they have been with us in sorrow, so they are very close. I have many pleasant memories of good times in the Roehlk home and I am sure you will all agree that from the time one enters their home until he leaves, their friendliness and hospitality makes one look forward to coming again."
