PAIR HERE SINCE '57 CELEBRATE SIXTIETH YEAR OF MARRIAGE
Mr. and Mrs. Melchior Volz, 124 North Eighth street, are today celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage. Five children, twenty-one grandchildren and one great-grandchild are present at the celebration.
Mr. Volz was born January 6, 1831, near Axhern, Baden-on-the-Rhine, Germany. He came to America in the spring of 1851, landing at New York after a month's trip on the ocean. He worked for a while in Louisville, Ky., before going to Ripley county, Indiana, where he met Miss Josephine Renner, who became his wife May 9, 1854. Mrs. Volz was born Jun 24, 1833, on the old homestead of her parents in Ripley county, Indiana, which was acquired by the parents early in the century, Mr. and Mrs. Renner moving to moving to Indiana from Pittsburg, sailing down the Ohio river to Cincinnati. Mr. and Mrs. Volz were married in the old St. Nicholas church in Ripley county, moving to Chicago soon after their marriage. Later, they moved to Iowa, and in the trip up the Mississippi in 1857, bound for St. Paul, Mr. Volz was so delighted by the location and the beauty of La Crosse that he landed here instead of continuing to St. Paul. That was May 7, 1857. Since that time La Cross has been their house. Twelve children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Volz, six of them dying in infancy, and one, William, dying twelve years ago at the age of twenty years. The eldest, Rev. Joseph F. Volz of Marshfield, was born on the homestead in Indiana, the rest being natives of La Crosse. The children are: George S and B. H. Volz of La Crosse, Mrs. Mary Guter of Minneapolis. John of Great Fall, Mont., and the Rev Joseph F Volz, pastor of St. John's Catholic church in Marshfield. Since 1875 Mr. and Mrs. Volz have lived on the property at 124 North Eighth street, which they bought from J. J. Hogan. Prior to that time they lived on State street, between Ninth and Tenth streets.
