MARK GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
Canajoharie - A former Amsterdam couple, Mr and Mrs Lester Abeling of 32 Wheelock St, Canajoharie, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary yesterday afternoon with an open house gathering given by their children.
Abeling and the former Miss Katherine Duffy, both of Amsterdam, were married Nov 10, 1914, in St Mary's Church, Amsterdam, in a double wedding ceremony, the first held in that church. Married at the same time was Abeling's brother, Fred, and the former Miss Francis Kline.
Mr and Mrs Abeling have been residents of the Canajoharie area for the past 40 years, Mr Abeling being in the garage business most fo that time. Presently he operates a garage on West Main Street, near the Thruway entrance.
The couple have six living children: Robert, Canajoharie; James, Palatine Bridge; Mrs Carolyn Conrad, Fort Plain RD; Carl, Palatine Bridge; Mrs Katherine Frasier, Palatine Bridge; and Thomas, Waverly. They also have 15 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
The couple was entertained at their home yesterday afternoon by their children, and a host of their relatives and friends called to pay tribute to the local businessman and his wife.
There were the four generations of the family present as the couple cut a tiered wedding cake in honor of the event. They were presented with a number of gifts, flowers and cards for the occasion and Mrs. Abeling. |

Robert was born in 1916. Assuming that he is under 1 year old, we are estimating that this photo was taken during the fall/winter of 1916 or possibly the spring of 1917. Location was most likely in Amsterdam, New York, where the family lived at the time. |

 | Florida winter location for Lester and Katherine Abeling.
Lester and Katherine Abeling rented this Florida home during the winter. This photo (along with some others) was sent to Robert and Mildred Abeling by Lester and Katherine to convince them to come to Florida during the winter.
The back reads..
Where we live it is a lovely place inside and out. Ma is in the window. If these pictures don't get you and Millie down here, I don't know what else to do. |

 | Katherine Duffy and Lester Abeling, dated August 1914.
The photo is dated on the back with August 1914, which is just a few months prior to their wedding in Nov 1914. |
 | Katherine Duffy Abeling with son Charles Abeling. One of Katherine's sisters with Robert W Abeling.
Left: Katherine Duffy Abeling holding Charles F Abeling
Right: One of Katherine's sisters, most likely Loretta, holding Robert W Abeling.
Estimated date of photo is 1918. Robert Abeling was born in March of 1916 and its very possible that he is two or at the most 3 in this photo. His younger brother, Charles was born in 1918 - and appears to be less than 1 year old. This would place the photo's date at 1918, and would also likely place the location of the photo in Amsterdam, New York, where Lester and Katherine lived at the time. |
 | Hazel Abeling Fusmer and Katherine Duffy Abeling
Based on this photo being similiar to the other photos of the Abeling and Fusmer families at the lake during the summer, our guess is that this photo would be dated between 1934 and 1937. |

Date and location of the photo are unknown. Kate is holding her grandson, Bucky (or David) Conrad. Lester is on the right. |
