Nadeau, Aug. 11 -

Among them were children, grandchildren and great grand children of Mr. and Mrs. Gauthier whose descendants, 128 persons, number 10 children, all of whom were present, sixty-nine grandchildren and forty-nine great grandchildren.
The celebration of the anniversary itself had as its background, St. Bruno's church, which has been the parish church of the family. It opened with religious services in the morning, a selema high mass at 10 o'clock, at which the couple renewed the vows they had taken sixty years ago, in Alfred, Ontario, Canada, when Mr. Gauthier , then a young man of seventeen, took Catherine LeClaire as his bride.

Father D. Joseph Breault, of Bark River, master of ceremonies, Rev. Father Joseph Schaul, of Spalding, was in the sanctuary. The sermon, a beautiful tribute to the aged couple and their example of a happy home and family life, was delivered by the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Raymond G. Jacques of Escanaba.
Attending them at the service were Mrs. Jerry Beaudwin of Magnolia, and Napoleon Gauthier of Detroit.
?i?Anniversary Dinner?/i?
Following the service, the couple was surrounded by relatives and friends in the large church yard, where they received the congratulations of family and friends, while a group of women of the parish busied themselves with last minute details arranging the long tables in the yard for the anniversary dinner.
This was served a short time following the service. Seated at one table were Mr. and Mrs. Gauthier, their ten children and the visiting clergymen. The centerpiece of this table, a large four-layer wedding cake, iced in pink and white, made by William Barker of Manistique, one of the grandsons. Other members of the family and friends were seated at other tables, arranged near by. Cut flowers were used on all tables. The menu was delicious and was well served. In charge of preparing and serving the dinner, were Mesdames J. Larch, D. Paquette, L. Varhon, A. Fish, A. Dantine, P. Poupore, E. Dupone, O. Lawin and E. Trembly and Misses M. Sperlein, E.

Mr. and Mrs. Telesphore Gauthier of Nadeau, parents of John G. Gauthier, prominent business man, will celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage Monday, Aug. 11, at their home at Nadeau, when they will attend a high mass and renew their marriage vows of sixty years ago. Rev. Fr. Frederick Sperlein, pastor of St. Bruno's church, will be celebrant of the mass, assisted by a number of clergy of the diocese.
Mr. and Mrs. Gauthier, pioneer and faithful members of St. Bruno's parish, are highly respected and well known residents of Menominee county, coming to Nadeau from Alfred, Ontario, Canada, where they were married Aug. 8, 1870. They have lived at Nadeau continuously since 1881.
Telesphore Gauthier was born at Alfred, Canada, March 2, 1853. At the age of 17 he married Catherine LeClaire of the same parish. Mrs. Gauthier was born April 4, 1850.
Of the children born to them, ten are living. They are: Mrs. Nick Bodette of Escanaba; Mrs. Joseph Racicot, Nadeau; Mrs. Emil Faille, Chicago; Mrs. Jerry Bunker, Neenah; Mrs. Adolph Seymour, Iron Mountain; Mrs. Charles Dezer, New York City; Mrs. Jerry Beauwin, Mangolia, N.J.; Peter Gauthier, Munising; Napoleon Gauthier, Detroit; John G.

Sixty-nine grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren comprise the family of 128 descendants. Among the grandchildren who will be present at Monday's ceremony are Sr. Germaine and Sr. Columbier of the Dominican order of Adrian, Mich., daughters of Mrs. Joseph Racicot.
Members of St. Bruno's parish will serve the wedding dinner. A reception will be held during the day. Mr. and Mrs. Gauthier attended the Eucharistic congress at Chicago in 1926. Both are well considering their advanced age.
