From Mondays Daily
Mr. and Mrs. D. Mesmer and son of
North Market street, are In Burlington
today attending the golden wedding
of Mr. Mesmer's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Philip Mesmer. Yesterday's Burling
ton Hawk-Eye tells of the celebration
as follows:
"Mr and Mrs. Philip Mesmer will
celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of
their wedding tomorrow at their home,
No. 240 South Ninth street, where
they have dwelt for the past 38 years.
The event will be-marked by a family
reunion. Everybody in Burlington
who knows this worthy couple, will
wish them all manner of happiness and
hope that they may be spared for many
years. They are both enjoying that
best of blessings, good health, and bid
fair to celebrate many additional an
niversaries of their wedding day. Mr.
and Mrs. Mesmer are to be counted
among the pioneers of Burlington, a
continuous residence of over half a
century Is what they have to their
credit, having been married In the
same city where they will celebrate
their golden anniversary. But of
|those who were their friends in their
younger days and danced at their wed
I ding in '57, but few remain.
Mr." and Mrs. Mesmer were neigh
bors and grew attached to ,each other
In the. fatherland. Their home was
Srosselflngen, in Hohenzollern-Hechln
gen, Germany. Mr. Mesmer was born
May 1, 1831, and Josephine Beck was
born March 19, 1834. Mr. Mesmer
r.ame across the sea to the land of the
Tree In 1856, and as that was before
the days of rapid transit, the staunch
sailing vessel which brought him over
required 5G days for the voyage Miss
Beck came over with members of her
family some six months later. They
also came to Burlington. Here the
young folks were delighted to meet
again aiyl on February 4, 1857, they
were married in the old Catholic"
church on Seventh street, just north
of the South Hill park. And the union
proved a happy one. "Into each life
some rain must fall," and "some davs
must be dark and dreary." And, 'of
course the young couple did not es
cape the trials and tribulations, but
the rain and the dark and dreary days
taught them to appreciate the sun
shine. and their lives in the main were
very happy.
Upon his arrival in Burlington, Mr.
Mesmer found, employment with the
Rand Lumber Co. Later he worked
for the dry goods firm of B. and H. D.
Howard, and from there he went to
the house of L. H. Dalhoff & Co., whom
he gave eighteen years of faithful and
honest service. While lie has not led
a very active life during the last fif
teen years, he has always been busy
With employment of some sort. Thus,
in 1895 and 1896, he served the city as
marketmaster, and he served the city
as faithfully as he did the variousi
firms with whom he had been
employed.
"The following children will be pres
ent at the celebration tomorrow, and
with them 18 grandchildren will gather
around the old couple and help to
bring back memories of the days that
are gone. The children are: Domin
ick, Burlington route train dispatcher
at Ottumwa: William, city freight
agent of the Great' Western road at
St, Joseph, Mo. Charles, of Des
Moines, who is traveling for the Stein
Millinery-Co., and Frank, Henry, Ed
ward, Mrs. Joseph Kolz and Miss'Fan
nie, all of this city.
