Rev. Fr. Frederick Sperlein, pastor of St. Bruno's church, will be celebrant of the mass, assisted by a number of clergy of the diocese.
      Mr. and Mrs. Gauthier, pioneer and faithful members of St. Bruno's parish, are highly respected and well known residents of Menominee county, coming to Nadeau from Alfred, Ontario, Canada, where they were married Aug. 8, 1870. They have lived at Nadeau continuously since 1881.
      Telesphore Gauthier was born at Alfred, Canada, March 2, 1853. At the age of 17 he married Catherine LeClaire of the same parish. Mrs. Gauthier was born April 4, 1850.
      Of the children born to them, ten are living. They are: Mrs. Nick Bodette of Escanaba; Mrs. Joseph Racicot, Nadeau; Mrs. Emil Faille, Chicago; Mrs. Jerry Bunker, Neenah; Mrs. Adolph Seymour, Iron Mountain; Mrs. Charles Dezer, New York City; Mrs. Jerry Beauwin, Mangolia, N.J.; Peter Gauthier, Munising; Napoleon Gauthier, Detroit; John G. Gauthier, Bark River. The entire family will attend the mass and reception for their parents.
      Sixty-nine grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren comprise the family of 128 descendants. Among the grandchildren who will be present at Monday's ceremony are Sr. Germaine and Sr. Columbier of the Dominican order of Adrian, Mich., daughters of Mrs. Joseph Racicot.
      Members of St. Bruno's parish will serve the wedding dinner. A reception will be held during the day. Mr. and Mrs. Gauthier attended the Eucharistic congress at Chicago in 1926. Both are well considering their advanced age.
