Four-in-One
There'll be Celebrating at the Houser Home
Also celebrating wedding anniversaries on the same date will be a daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Hubert L. Houser of 359 Bristol-av., NW, and a granddaughter and grandson-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. John Duvernay of Petoskey.
In addition May 19 will be Mr. Crane's seventy-third birth anniversary.
For Mr. and Mrs. Houser, at whose home the festivities will be held Sunday, it will be their nineteenth anniversary; for Mr. and Mrs. Duvernay, their second.
Utilities Manager.
Frequent Grand Rapids visitors in recent years, Mr. and Mrs. Crane spent most of their married years in Michigan. For several years Mr. Crane was manager of the municipal electrical power plant at Lansing and subsequently manager of the Owosso gas plant. In addition Mr. Crane served as general manager of the Rockford, Ill., water and electric light plant and manager of the Bangor Me., gas plant. He supervised the work the first time a mine was electrified in Ohio.
Mr. Crane was born in Flora, IL. His wife, 75 years old, was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. They were married at Cincinnati, to which city they returned a few years ago. He left retirement at the start of the war to take a "temporary" psot with one of the largest electrical concerns in the midwest. Still busy at the "temporary" job, Mr. Crane insists he'll find time to retire yet.
Family to Be Present.
The Cranes have three daughters and one son. All will be present for the Sunday festivities. In addition to Mrs. Houser, they are Mrs. Alonzo Boothe of Cincinnatti, Mrs. Donald Price of Petoskey and Roderick Crane of Battle Creek. Mr. Boothe, Mr. Price and Mrs. Crane also will be guests. Others attending from out of town will include the Roderick Cranes' three sons; Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Heinz and children of Flint, and James and Dorothy Price of Petoskey.
