50th Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. John Nespor

Mr. and Mrs. John Nespor, 415 North Eighth Street, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding at the family home on last Thursday. The family reunion was held a week previous because of the limited stay of their son, Zdnek of Elmira, New York.

Mr. Nespor was born in Bohemia in 1851 and Mrs. Nespor in the Town of Kossuth, this county in 1857. Her maiden name was Julia Maresh. Mr. Nespor came to America and to Manitowoc at the age of 16.

The ten children of the couple were present as follows: Mrs. Jerome Dick, Mrs. William Bruechert, Mrs. Carl Geisler, Mrs. Otto Geisler, Mrs. Albert Hinrichs, Mrs. Anton Kostlevy and sons, Ladimir, Milosh, Bjmal and Zdneck.

This couple have grown in the respect of their towns people for a half century. They reared a large family to be a credit to them and the race whence they sprang.
