----- Kuester, Gottlieb & Wilhelmina (Silver 27 APR 1913)
The farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Gottlieb Kuester, who live six miles west of this city (Greenwood, Clark Co., Wis.), was the scene of a pleasant gathering of over two hundred relatives and friends, on Sunday last, April 27, 1913. The occasion is one that will long be remembered for its social and congenial spirit, that prevailed among friends and relatives that had not assembled before in many years. It was a most beautiful spring day and all things seemed to rejoice in the event of the twenty-fifty anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Kuester.
Promptly at 2:30 oclock p.m., Mr. and Mrs. Kuester took their places in the parlor while a wedding march was played by Miss Goeke, and Rev. Otto Saewert pronounced a short ceremony in German, as well as well chosen remarks.
The bride of twenty-five years ago was dressed in a beautiful gown of black satin and wore a silver bouquet.
A delightful time was spent by all present and great gayety reigned. The guests were regaled by an abundance of things which appeal to the taste and everybody left appreciative of the generous hospitality at the Kuester home.
They were the recipients of many beautiful articles of silver, which shows the high respect they are held in by their many friends. This home is blessed with five children, four of whom are still under the parental roof, while one is the wife of Julius Dill of this city.
Mr. and Mrs. Kuester took up their home at the farm they now reside twenty-five years ago, when the country was then but a wilderness, and now have a beautiful farm home and 240 acres of the nicest land in Clark County.
Those from away in attendance were the following brothers of Mrs. Kuester: Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Reinke and two children of Plymouth, Wis., and Wm., August and Charles Reinke with their wives and children from Franklin, Wis., Mrs. John Brill and two sons from Calumet, Mich., the former being the only sister of Mrs. Kuester. Mr. and Mrs. Ludevig of Dorchester and Mrs. Greisch and son and daughter of Marshfield.
The Gleaner joins with friends in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Kuester twenty-five years more of happy marriage.

GUSTAVE MEINHOLDT, a well-to-do farmer and dairyman of Section 5, "Eaton Township, was born in the village of Franklin, Sheboygan County, Wis., Dec. 20, 1871, son of Gottleib and Wilhelmina (Reindorf) Meinholdt, who brought him to Eaton Township in 1879. He obtained his schooling in Clark County and worked on his father's farm until he was 21 years old began working in the woods in winter and at farming and railroad work in summer, and was thus employed for about fourteen years. In the meanwhile he bought eighty acres in Section 5, Eaton Township, it being a wild tract of land on which there was a small clearing but no buildings.

In 1890 he built a frame barn, 40 by 68 feet in size, and a seven-room frame house, and began clearing the place during the summers, working out in the winter. On May 14, 1913, Mr. Meinholdt married Martha Marquardt, who was born in Clark County, Oct. 21, 1882. Her father, Ferdinand Marquardt, was a pioneer, who came from Germany in the early days and established himself in the wild woods of what is now Green Grove Township, Clark County. They had many interesting experiences, and his wife often walking seven miles to the nearest store, while she carried produce in her apron to exchange for groceries. Mr. Meinhardt brought his wife to his home, where he had previously lived as a bachelor, and together they started the further development of the place. He has now cleared about eighty acres, and besides dairying, is now raising hogs and a few horses.

He is a stockholder in the West Eaton Creamery and in the Farmers' Store at Greenwood. For a number of years he served as treasurer and director of the school board. Mr. and Mrs. Meinholdt have two children: Mercedes Ruth, who was born Sept. 13, 1904, and Arlene Dora, born Oct. 5, 1916.
