Kroekers Feted
On Anniversary
North Dallas The chancel of
the new Evangelical Mennonite
Brethren church on Howe near
Miller avenue was decorated in
pink and white gladioluses and
ferns in large baskets on Satur
day evening when Mr. and Mrs.
K. E. Kroeker of West Salem,
celebrated their 25th wedding
anniversary at an 8 o'clock ser
vice. Their older daughter,
Miss Margaret Kroeker, was
toastmistress for the evening
The plans included a program
similar to the original wedding
service 25 years ago. The min
ister who had preformed the
ceremony could not attend, so
his complimentary letter was
read to the friends and relatives
gathered with the honored
couple. A choir of about a
dozen voices sang the same song
"Sail On" by Gabriel, that had
been sung originally. The choir
members were a portion of that
other choir 25 years ago. At that
time a choir of 50 voices took
part.
Rev. Jacob H. Quiring gave
the invocation. Originally he
had given a sermonette. Rev
A. P. Toews brought the message
of the evening on "Faith." Misses
Margaret and Esther Kroeker,
the two daughters, sang "My
God and I."
Rev. Glen Yates of the Wes-
leyan Methodist church in Salem
gave appropriate remarks. In
formal good wishes were ex
tended to the couple. Mrs
Henry Quiring gave a reading
of which she was the composer.
Among those speaking were Mr
and Mrs. Jake Buhler of Salem,
Mrs. W. S. Downer, and Mrs. J.
N. Ediger. John S. Ediger, who
is the only living uncle on the
bride's maternal side of the
family, gave the closing prayer.
Refreshments were served to
nearly 150 guests in the
church dining rooms immediate
ly after the program. Mrs. Ed
B. Frey and Mrs. Thomas Dalke
poured. Mrs. Henry Quiring
and Mrs. S. N. Ediger cut the
ices. The brides table was
centered by a large square tiered
wedding cake which Mr. Jake
Buhler had made. The Misses
Lavina Harder and Florence
Frey assisted.
Twenty-five years ago this
couple's wedding was the first
wedding to be held in the Evan
gelical Mennonite Brethren
church which had just then
been built on Miller avenue. On
