Wedding Wednesday - A Gold Anneversy

Last Sunday I wrote about August and Elin Nilsson's obituaries, today I will write about their Gold Anniversary. 15 February 1952 August and Elin had been married for 50 years. They had during their years as married gone from a small farm to having a proper farm of their own. Out of nine children seven were still alive when they celebrated their anniversary and one of their sons had taken over the farm. Five sons and four daughters gave them several grandchildren.

 There are not many pictures of August and Elin apart from some newspaper clippings, unlike my grandmother's other uncles and aunts whom there are several photos of. August and Elin lived farther from the other siblings and their families and that could have affected their relationship.
