Evening Times, Cumberland, Maryland, 23 Sep 1913:  
"Golden Wedding Anniversary--Last Sunday the fiftieth 
anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Leopold 
Berkenbaugh, of this place, was observed with a family 
reunion at the parental home on the Island.  Mrs. 
Berkenbaugh was not advised of the intentions of the 
younger folks and the affair as a complete surprise to 
her when her children here and from out of town began 
to call on her. Mr. Leopold Berkenbaugh and Miss Sarah 
Rowan were married at SS. Peter and Paul's Catholic 
Church, Cumberland, on September 20, 1863, and the 
fiftieth anniversary really occurred on Saturday; but 
Sunday being the most suitable for the little 
celebration it was held day later.  Besides Mr. and 
Mrs. Berkenbaugh themselves the following daughters, 
sons-in-law and grandchildren were present, the only 
son, Mr. Patrick Berkenbaugh, being in Detroit. Mich., 
and unable to get here: Mrs. Katherine Ryan and son, 
Aloysius, daughter and grandson; Miss Florence 
McDonough, grand daughter; Mrs. John McDonough, 
husband and family, Irvin, Edgar and Charles, daughter, 
son-in-law; Miss Nellie Berkenbaug, daughter, of 
Lonaconing, and Mr. and Mrs. George Myers and Miss Nora 
Geary, Miss Nellie's intimate friends, also of 
Lonaconing.  Congratulations were extended to the happy 
couple and many interesting incidents were recalled, 
the afternoon passing pleasantly. In the evening a 
splendid dinner was served and the remainder of the 
evening was spent in social intercourse
