Their parents were the late Dewitt and Edith Schwab, who came to the area in the early 1900s. They raised eight children, two of whom had died, Hazel (Silva) and Nelson. The five couples who had celebrated golden anniversaries were Ronald and Esther Baugess, Paul and Lottie Jackson, Leslie and Doris Schwab, Stanley and Peggie Novak, and Charlie and Marguerite Schwab.
