From the Luxemburger Gazette Oct. 27, 1896 page 5, col 2&3.'
On last Monday the hightly respected and widely known Mr. Joseph Arth and his spouse of #700 Plum St. celebrated the rare occasion of their golden wedding anniversary. The spritiual festival began with a high-mass at 9:30 in the Heart ofJesus Church, at which service 40 direct descendants were present with the venerable pair, namely, 7 children, 24 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren, along with many other relatives. Mr Arth was born on the 13 of Nov. 1819 at Pruem in the Gov. Adm. Dist. of Trier; he served 3 years in the military (rifleman) and in 1846 married Miss A. Gerber, with whom he has since dwelt in Happy Matrimony. The couple emigrated to America in 1857, and came in May of the same year to St. Paul, and built for themselves a house out of accumulated assets, the same house they now occupy, through hard work and diligence, they provided for their children properly, which although not constituting great wealth, was sufficient for their advancement. May the worth jubilarians have many years to enjoy their well earned rest in the continuously expanding circle of loved ones.'
