BOW VALLEY—Four sisters, all in their 80’s, whose combined ages total 338 years live within about a block of each other in the little village of Bow Valley.
The sisters are Mrs. Bernadine Rameil, 80, born January 25, 1870; Mrs. Lizzie Thoene, 83, born March 2, 1867; Mrs. Anna Peitz, 86, born July 8, 1864 and Mrs. Theresa Wortman, 89, born October 5, 1861.
The sisters were all born in Germany the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. John Noecker. They had one brother, John Noecker, Jr. who was born Nov. 25, 1859 and died June 24, 1938 at the age of 79.
The family came to the United States some three-quarters of a century ago and the four sisters have always lived near each other. In their early married life they all lived on farms close together southeast of Bow Valley the distance at most being about two miles. For the past 20 years, they have all lived in Bow Valley, one might almost say side by side. All are widows, except Mrs. Rameil.

HARTINGTON - The first Homecoming festivities at Holy Trinity High School will be held this weekend, with events beginning on Friday evening and coming to a climax in the Trinity-St. Pat game Saturday afternoon.
A bonfire pep meeting will be conducted on the school grounds Friday evening at about eight o’clock. Weather permitting, each of the twelve grades at Trinity will be represented at the rally by a cheering team. Cheerleaders Ruth Renze, Jo Ann Hirschman, Dorothy Lux and Margaret Beuck will be on hand to help bring out the school spirit.
Following the cheering demonstration the presentation of the players by Coach Gradoville will take place. Robert Schmidt, elected honorary captain by the Trojans of 1950, will be the captain of the homecoming game.
The highlight of Friday evening’s activities will be the coronation of the first Trinity football queen and king, whose identity will remain secret until then. Both were elected by a vote of the high school students, qualifications for the queen mentioned merely that she must be a senior; only those boys of the senior class belonging to the football team were eligible for the honor of being selected king.
Attendants for the queen will be four girls, one from each high school class. Charlene Wieseler, runnerup in the election for queen, is the attendant from the senior class; the other three attendants, each elected by the class members of her home room, are: Dorothy Lux, junior; Shirley Kathol, sophomore; and Earline Peck, freshman.
Crownbearers are two Trinity primary pupils, each having a brother on the football team; David Lammers and Ruth Feilmeier.
The coronation ceremonies will take place in the K. of C. Hall. Witnessing the event will be most of the 157 students enrolled at Trinity High School.
Saturday afternoon’s game between the Trojans and St. Patrick’s of Fremont will mark the climax of the homecoming festivities. In addition to being the last game of the season, it will also be the last game in their high school career for ten seniors who will be lost by graduation before the 1951 season; Bob Schmidt, full back and honorary captain; Bob Tideman, tackle, and heaviest man on the squad; John Lammers, guard; Clarence Kast, half back; Larry Hausman, half back; Jerry Arens, half back; Tom Harper, end; John Schmidt, tackle; Don Schulte, quarterback and Alvin Wieseler, end.
Trinity will be after its fourth win of the season against one tie and two losses. The Trojans will be at full strength for the St. Pat game, which will be played at 2:30 p.m. Saturday on the public school campus.
