20. Clyde and Anna Sprunger - 22 Oct 1988

    Clyde and Anna Sprunger - This photo was also taken on the day they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. They are shown wearing the same clothes they are shown wearing in the previous photos, but now they are standing in front of a window that has panels of clear glass decorated with smaller, rectangular panels of colored glass. I believe this to be in the First Missionary church, because that's the church they belonged to.
