[The Welland-Port Colborne Evening Tribune, 8 December 1931]

Bethel, Dec. 4-Mr. and Mrs. Peter N. Yaeger celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary quietly at their home, Sunday, with a family dinner. At a long table centered with pink carnations, places were marked for twenty-five guests and the Misses Dolores Gebhardt and Marcella and Cathryn Yaeger assisted. During the afternoon a program of music was enjoyed.

Mr. and Mrs. Yaeger, nee Miss Helen Mergi of Buffalo, were married in Winnipeg, twenty-five years ago and subsequently lived in Winnipeg and Buffalo. In 1923, they bought the farm, formerly owned by the late John and Mrs. John Pearson, where they have since resided. Mrs. Yaeger is an active and valued member of the Bethel Women’s Institute, and at present is secretary and treasurer of that society.

Mr. and Mrs. Yaeger were the recipients of many lovely reminders of the happy occasion of the hearty congratulations of their many friends and neighbors.
