  Fifty years of happily married life are being crowned today for Mr. and Mrs. 
William H. Wolfe of 224 Third avenue, who will be guests of honor this evening 
from 8 to 11 o'clock at open house at the home of Mrs. Frank Bowden of 1002 
Second avenue.
  Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wolfe of Scranton, a son and daughter-in-law of the 
celebrants, also will act as host and hostess at the affair, to which members of 
the family and close friends are invited.
  Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe were united in marriage July 14, 1898, by Rev. Myers of the 
Dunkard church, Sixth avenue and Fifth street, at the home of the bride's 
parents, Henry C. and Dorothy Etta (Knisely) Strayer (deceased) of 224 East 
Fourth avenue.
  Mr. Wolfe was born Oct. 26, 1874, a son of Balzar and Magdeline (Filer) Wolfe 
(deceased) of 417 First avenue. Mrs. Wolfe was born in Port Royal, Pa., Jan. 18, 
1880, coming to Altoona with her parents at the age of 2 years.
  The couple has one son, Charles Wolfe of Scranton, an executive with the 
Carlson Hat company, and a grandson, G. Richard Wolfe, also of Scranton.
  Since his retirement in 1944 from the position of stationary engineer at the 
Hoffman Dairy company, Mr. Wolfe reports that he has been occupying his time 
conversing with old friends in the neighborhood and assisting Mrs. Wolfe with 
the household chores.
  Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe are members of the Second Avenue Evangelical United 
Brethren church. Both are enjoying fairly good health.
