Golden Wedding Hopes End With Aurelia Couple
An elderly Illinois couple, married in 1872, lived in Stephenson, Hamilton, and Custer counties before settling in Aurelia. Their lives centered on faith in the German Evangelical and later the Brethren Progressive churches. They had one raised daughter and no biological children, with the husband and a sister and brother mourning the loss as funeral services were held at the Aurelia Methodist Church.
