On Saturday evening, 77 relatives and friends gathered at St. Mary's parish hall, Cascade, to help in the celebration of the 25th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Kohlman, well-known Cascade residents.

Dancing and singing provided entertainment and later a supper was served. Hugh Crosby acted as toastmaster. Children of the celebrants were present for the party. They are Mrs. James (Marty) Morgan, Cambridge; Earl, a student at Oshkosh State Teachers college, and the twins, Ceil, who attends St. Mary's Springs Academy, Fond du Lac and Nell, a freshman at Plymouth High school.

The marriage of Mr. Kohlman and the former Miss Marion Smith, Town Russell, took place Nov. 6, 1923, at St. Anne's Catholic church, St. Ann. Attendants of the two who were present for this year's observance were: Mrs. Arthur Barndahl, Fond du Lac; Mrs. Cathryn Haut, Newburg; Harry Smith, Town Russell, and Val Kohlman, Malone.
