Many Neighbors & Friends Show Love and Esteem for Popular Couple
One of the pleasant surprise parties ever planned in this vicinity was
that tendered to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bothe(sic) at their residence on
Monroe Ave., last Saturday evening. The occasion was their golden
wedding anniversary. The genuine respect and esteem in which this couple
is held in the community was shown by the enthusiastic and warm hearted
greetings of the large number who turned out to help them celebrate the
joyful occasion. The surprise was a complete one, the party assembling
at the homes of Mr. and Mrs. Hans Meyer and Mr. and Mrs. Wm Priegnitz,
neighbors. Upon reaching the Bothe residence about 8:30, they stopped
outside and gave a chariverie which roused the old couple out and storms
of greetings and welcome followed such as can only come from a
spontaneous and mutual feeling of love and good will. Mrs. Bothe, whose
soul is suffused with the best of German literature, recited appropriate
verses of welcome and Mr. Bothe also made a witty and fitting address of
welcome, toasts were drunk to the health and happiness of the pair and
an hour of delightful social enjoyment followed. Then the guests ?? the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Hans Myer across the street which they entered
while the impressive strains of Lohengrin's Wedding March on the piano
awakened sweet memories. Here a sumptuous and splendidly arranged feast
awaited them. During the hour of refreshment toasts were given by Mayor
Currens, Prof. B. J. Wetzel and Arthur Baetz, who on behalf of the
guests presented the groom and bride of 50 years with a beautiful solid
gold chain and a gold cameo brooch as a token of their love and esteem
and with best wishes for many more years of happiness.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bothe were married in 1866 in Germany. Shortly after
in 1868 they emigrated to America coming to Two Rivers and have resided
here ever since. During all of the fifty years, they have lived here,
there has been no more popular couple in the community then Mr. and
Mrs. Bothe. Although they have passed three score and ten they are
remarkably well preserved and keep up the same smiling welcome and warm
hospitality which with their unfailing friendship has been the secret of
their popularity. Their daughter and only child, Mrs. Arthur Koepke was
present at the festivities with Mr. Koepke and family of Manitowoc. The
other guests were Messrs and Mesdames Arthur Lohman, Carl Kirst, H.
Hoepner, Arthur Baetz, Hans Meyer, Wm. Priegnitz, F. McIllbatten, B.J.
Wetzel, Robert Suettinger, Noel Nash, Ed Mueller, Simon Schneider, John
Smith, A. Geimer, the Mesdames Emma Lohman, R. Winkelmiller, Fred
Eggers, A. Weilep, Weiss, Bemis, Wm. Bremer, Hans Henrickson, Mayor J.
R. Currens, Doctor Farrell, Conrad Baetz, Ira Levenhagen, Louis Hartung
and the Misses Esha Eggers, Hattie Weilep, Lizzie Baetz, Estelle
Farrell, Lizzie Hayes, Theresa Schroeder, Gretchen Spahn, Bertha, Laura
and Hester Kahlenberg, Althea Hartung, Lillian Levenhagen and Miss Madigan.
