Wedding Wednesday – 55 years

On March 30, 1910, Will Knutz and Elvirta Graves made a life-long commitment to each other.  They met while Will was working on a threshing crew, and Virta was helping to serve the hungry men.

50 years later, they celebrated a milestone anniversary.  Their marriage would last nearly 56 years, until Will passed away in 1966.

  3. The wedding photograph makes me think of simpler, gentler times. Elvirta was a beautiful bride. She looks very gentle and confident. And they both look so happy on their anniversary.
