Glen and Yvonne Kartheiser were married in St. Richard’s Catholic Church in Columbia Falls on March 13, 1970. They celebrate 50 years of marriage.

Sharing a combined family, they lived many years at their ranch located at the foot of Columbia Mountain. Over time the family has grown into five generations of 12 children, 26 grandchildren, 43 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

The Kartheisers will be celebrating their anniversary at home with the family this week.
