Rosolack, Mr. and Mrs. Adolph C. (62^nd - 21 June 1961)

The 62^nd wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph C. Rosolack, who reside one mile south of Humbird in the Town of Mentor, was quietly observed at their home last week.

Adolph Rosolack, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rosolack, of Milwaukee was married June 21, 1899, to Wilhelmina Duerkop, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Duerkop of Alma. The wedding was performed in the log cabin home of the bride’s parents.  They made their home after marriage at Smith Coulee near La Crosse until 1901 and also lived in Fairchild, and Garden Valley in Jackson County.

In 1925, Mr. and Mrs. Rosolack moved to their present home in the Town of Mentor, Clark County.  Their original purchase was for five acres of land which they have now reduced to 2 ½ acres. Mrs. Rosolack was born September 10, 1878, and he was born November 19, 1877.  They have remained in good health through the years and both love flowers and gardening.

At 82 and 83 years of age, both pick strawberries, take care of their yard and flowers.  Oriental poppies, columbine, and many other annuals and perennial flowers are now blossoming around the door of their home and just outside of their windows.  It is a quaint and lovely place to see.
