  	Celebrate at Homestead Two important anniversaries will be celebrated this evening at the farm home on which Mr. and Mrs. Frank Spevacek, (photo) Mishicot, Route 2, have spent most of their 55 years of married life. A family gathering at their home will celebrate the couple's 55th wedding anniversary and Mr. Spevacek's 79th birthday anniversary, both events of Nov. 19. Their four sons, Anton, Cooperstown; Charles, on the homestead; Emil, Mishicot, and George of Manitowoc, and their six grandchildren will be with them for the celebration this evening. During his youth Mr. Spevacek came to this country from Prague, Bohemia, where he was born, Nov. 19, 1852. His wife, whose maiden name was Antonette Lamch, is a native of this vicinity. She was born at Greensteet Oct. 10, 1856. With the exception of a few years during which Mr. Spevacek operated the post office at Bolt, Wis., the couple has resided on the homestead farm in the town of Gibson since their marriage at Greenstreet Nov. 19, 1876.
