    MARK GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY

    Canajoharie - A former Amsterdam couple, Mr and Mrs Lester Abeling of 32 Wheelock St, Canajoharie, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary yesterday afternoon with an open house gathering given by their children.

    Abeling and the former Miss Katherine Duffy, both of Amsterdam, were married Nov 10, 1914, in St Mary's Church, Amsterdam, in a double wedding ceremony, the first held in that church. Married at the same time was Abeling's brother, Fred, and the former Miss Francis Kline.

    Mr and Mrs Abeling have been residents of the Canajoharie area for the past 40 years, Mr Abeling being in the garage business most fo that time. Presently he operates a garage on West Main Street, near the Thruway entrance.

    The couple have six living children: Robert, Canajoharie; James, Palatine Bridge; Mrs Carolyn Conrad, Fort Plain RD; Carl, Palatine Bridge; Mrs Katherine Frasier, Palatine Bridge; and Thomas, Waverly. They also have 15 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

    The couple was entertained at their home yesterday afternoon by their children, and a host of their relatives and friends called to pay tribute to the local businessman and his wife.

    There were the four generations of the family present as the couple cut a tiered wedding cake in honor of the event. They were presented with a number of gifts, flowers and cards for the occasion and Mrs. Abeling.

    Caroline Abbey Abeling and Charles F Abeling?
    Caroline Abbey Abeling and Charles F Abeling?
    Woman in the background appears to be Caroline Abbey Abeling, but is not confirmed. The young boy is simliar to pictures of Charles F Abeling who died as a child in 1923. If it is Charles F, the photo would be dated 1921 to 1923.

    Photo location is most likely the Abeling home on Maple Ave, but can anyone confirm?

    Caroline and the boy appears to be Charles F. Abeling who died in 1923, dating the picture to 1919 to 1923.

    Location is unknown.

    Considering Charles F Abeling was born 1918 and died in 1923, the photo's estimated date would be 1920 or 1921.

    Location appears to be the back of the Abeling home on Maple Ave, as I was told that there used to be stairs that went from directly to the second floor from back yard.

    We believe the location is 112 Guy Park Ave, in Amsterdam, NY - taken about 1918-1920.

    The 1920 Amsterdam Directory does confirm that Frederick and Frances Abeling lived at 112 Guy Park Ave. Robert William Abeling recalls visiting this location with his Grandma Carrie and he remembers that Fred & Frances lived in brick house on Guy Park Ave.

    Left: Katherine Duffy Abeling holding Charles F Abeling
    Right: One of Katherine's sisters, most likely Loretta, holding Robert W Abeling.

    Estimated date of photo is 1918. Robert Abeling was born in March of 1916 and its very possible that he is two or at the most 3 in this photo. His younger brother, Charles was born in 1918 - and appears to be less than 1 year old. This would place the photo's date at 1918, and would also likely place the location of the photo in Amsterdam, New York, where Lester and Katherine lived at the time.
