CIETY NEVS|! Mr. and Mrs. Carl Spitzer Celebrate Golden Wedding Anniversary With Picnic at Mandan Marriage Took- Place in Bis- marck and They Have-Re- sided Here Since | A large company of relatives and friends will assemble this evening at the Spitzer farm home near Arnold to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Carl Spitzer, pioneer Bismarck couple, who are observing their golden wedding anniversary. They were married in Bismarck on July 17, 1883. Sunday members of their family liv- ing in this vicinity arranged a picnic at the Mandan Chautauqua park as @ surprise. The afternoon was spent in reminiscences and with games for the youngsters. -Mr. and Mrs. Spitzer were presented with a purse of gold and with other remembrances of the occasion. About 25 relatives from Bis- marck and Mandan attended. Mr. and Mrs. Spitzer are among the few real old-timers remaining in Bur- leigh county. Mr. Spitzer, who first came to Bismarck in 1877, recalls it as @ thriving frontier town of some 2,000 at that time. River trade was brisk and business was enjoying a boom. Spitzer; who spent five years steam- boating for different companies on the Missouri between Yankton and Fort Benton, recalls the huge herds of buffalo then frequently seen grazing on the plains along the river. At one time it was necessary to stop the boat because a herd of hundreds of buffalo ‘was crossing the river. Buffalo hides and other skins form- ed a large part of the cargo of the river boats on the return trips in those days, Spitzer said. He remem- bered that on one trip the steamer Dakota carried 36,000 raw buffalo hides, 800 bales of buffalo robes, 300 bales of beaver skins, and 400 bales of antelope and deer skins. Hard work and’ thrift are the best means of combatting a depression, says Mr. Spitzer, who has lived through three of them. The recent one is by no means the worst, he be- eves, and farmers this year have much reason to feel hopeful. Besides steamboating Spitzer has farmed and etill does a great deal of work on his farm north of the city. Until recently the family made their home in Bismarck and Spitzer helped to put in a large part of the water mains in the city. “In those days,” he said, “I used to dig 63 feet of ditch, 8 feet deep and 2 and one-half feet wide, place the pipe and cover it in one day. Wages then were 10 cents @ running foot. There was no such thing as an eight-hour day or a labor union here in those days.” Mr. and Mrs. Spitzer, who are 80 and 66 years of age, respectively, both are in excellent health and are look- ing forward to many more years of work and hapinness. Although much of their life has been spent in pioneer surroundings, they do not feel that it has been a hard one. To them were born 10 children, eight of whom are living. They are Emil Spitzer, Long Beach, Calif.; Mrs. Frank Will (Amelia), Yreka, Calif. Mrs. Jack Cohea (Esther) Los Angel- es; Mrs. Tom Justice, (Arlene) Deer Park, Wash.; Mrs. George Goodson (Annie), Canton, N. J.; Mrs. Arthur Sakariassen (Clara), Mandan; ‘Wil- liam Spitzer, and Lawrence, who re- side on the Spitzer farm near Arnold. There are 17 grandchildren.
