Waterloo Times, Waterloo, Illinois, July 18, 1913 Celebrate Golden Wedding An Aged Waterloo Couple Agreeable Surprised. Mr. and Mrs. John Lutz celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their home in this city Sunday with a family re-union of their children, grand-children and great-grand children. The celebration had been carefully planned on the quiet by the children and came as a complete surprise to the old people. Verses of congratulations were read to the parents by each child. A substantial present in gold coin was tendered the old couple, after which a bounteous repast was spread to which all did ample justice. This venerable couple was married by Pastor Steinert of the Evangelical St. Paul's church in this city on July 14, 1863, and have resided in Waterloo continuously since. Four children, Mrs. Katie Theler of St. Louis, Andrew Lutz of this city, George and Henry Lutz of St. Louis, also eleven grand-children and two great-grand children, were present to attend the celebration, as was also Henry Hettinger of St. Louis and John Hettinger of this city, brothers of Mrs. Lutz, and Mrs. Geo. Lutz of this city. A remarkable feature of this couple's long journey through life's pathway is, that so far no death has as yet occurred in the family. Mr. Lutz has been engaged in various pursuits during the many years he has resided here, and served the City of Waterloo in the capacity of Alderman for eighteen years. That he was faithful to the interests of the city was exemplified by the regularity in which his constituents returned him to office. Mr. Lutz is now 73 years of age and is still hale and hearty. In fact, he indulges in frequent hunting trips, being a confirmed sportsman, and can yet out-walk and out-work many men who are years his junior. Mrs. Lutz is 69 years of age and has not been enjoying the best of health here lately, yet she made merry with the party and surely enjoyed the celebration. She is a good motherly soul who is worshipped by her many friends for her kindly ways and every ready disposition to lend assistance wherever and whenever the same is needed. Many Waterloo friends stopped off during the day to extend congratulations. The old couple also received many cards of congratulation and well wishes by mail from out-of-town friends. The many friends of this venerable couple unite with the Times in wishing them many more such happy re-unions and hope they will live to celebrate their diamond wedding. At time of their Golden Wedding Anniversary, they had 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

E. O. Kamuff, who has been caring for E. J. McQuillen of late, was in town Monday. Ben Rausch crossed the flooded bottoms of Richland creek last Monday in a boat to reach Hecker. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Hill made a trip to Smithton one day last week and visited the public school there. The Red Bud butchers are on our streets quite often now. Hardly a day passes but what we meet some of them. Roy E. Staufenbiel reports that his grandpa, Mr. McQuillan, who has been ailing for some time, is about the same. Robert Ruhl and family went to St. Louis last Monday to attend the funeral of his niece, Mrs. Feldbusch who died suddenly of heart failure. Louis Koerber was in our town one day last week executing a bond as a qualification for tax collector in Prairie du Long Town, St. Clair County. Sheriff Burkhardt and his deputies relieved Hecker and community of about three thousand dollars last Monday. Owing to the high water, many people failed to put in their appearance. Steve Rennecker took advantage of the situation and moved into his new house last Monday. The ground was soft and their eggs and canned goods were in no danger of being broken. Last Sunday morning about seven o’clock a fire alarm was given. It proved to be a chimney on fire at Ruhl’s residence. Owing to the heavy atmosphere the whole house was enveloped in smoke which created the alarm. Last Saturday night the Village Board met in regular session with Stahlheber in the chair, Mr. Hurley of St. Louis was present and before he left, closed a deal with the Board for 400 feet of fire hose from the Diamond Fire Hose Co.
