Newspapers often published commemorative articles celebrating milestones. Take for example the 50th wedding anniversary of Elizabeth Kern and Valentine Humburg. They were both born in Germany, married 3 April 1854 in New York, and settled in San Jose, California, six years later.<\/p>\n

San Jose Mercury News (San Jose, California), 3 April 1904, page 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This detailed newspaper article names their five children and their nine grandchildren \u2013 and, as a bonus, includes photographs of the couple.<\/p>\n

If you were searching just on the marriage date of the Humburgs in the 1854 newspapers in New York City, you would not find this great article about their marriage printed 50 years later in a newspaper across the country.<\/p>\n
