It is a great pleasure for me to be able to write such wonderful news item. Arthur and Clara Ernst, 5604 North Meadow Hill Lane, will be celebrating their long awaited day June 20.

They were married June 20, 1914, at Niles, Mich., at the home of her parents with the Reverend F. H. Rahn officiating. They went right in to a home of their own, Arthur was too busy to take a honeymoon. Their bridesmaid was Margaret Fischer, now deceased, their bestman was William Schumann, who went back to Germany where he still lives. Arthur was employed as a lithographer, a profession he followed all his life. The Ernsts have three daughters, Claire Marie Stratford and Dorothy Ernst, both of Chicago, and Helen Ries of DesPlaines. They have one grandchild, Judy Ries. During their married life they have lived in Niles, Mich., Chicago and Seattle, Wash. They moved to Pistakee Highlands August 20, 1963.
