Diller Silver Wedding Celebration Draws 300 in Jefferson County
The largest social event in Jefferson County marks the silver wedding anniversary of Mr and Mrs E L Loock at their new Diller home. Loock began housekeeping in 1886 with him serving as postmaster and owning the village's only general store. The event drew over 300 guests as the home opened, with Colman House raising mass to 85 cents due to higher food costs. A week of guest arrival preceded the celebration.
