  Golden Wedding	7 May 1927	Maryborough Chronicle, Wide Bay and Burnett Advertiser, Queensland
  	GOLDEN WEDDING. An event of considerable interest to a large circle of friends took place on April 29, when Mr. and Mrs. Neils Andersen were tendered a wedding breakfast to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their marriage. The gathering was arranged by their sons and daughters, at the residence of Mr. N. J. Andersen, jun., Pialba. The three-tier wedding cake was the work of Miss H. Nissen (Urraween). There were four generations present, including nine children, 28 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. Rev. J. E. Everitt presided. After the loyal toast had been honoured, at the instance of Mr. P. J. Birt, the chairman congratulated Mr. and Mrs. Andersen on being able to celebrate their golden wedding in such pleasant conditions. He referred to the many fine qualities of the parents and children, all of whom were present. Letters were read from the Methodist Ladies' Guild (of which Mrs. Andersen is a valued member), and from the officers and members of the Methodist Church. A purse of sovereigns with every good wish was then presented to the happy couple. Mr. Andrew Andersen responded on behalf of his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Andersen are old pioneers of the Pialba district, having carried on cane growing and general farming at Kawungan for many years. Mr. Andersen, prior to this, was engaged as engine driver at Messrs. Wilson, Hart, and Co's sawmills, Maryborough. They are now living in well-deserved retirement at Pialba.

  	PIALBA PIONEER'S DEATH PIALBA, November 16.-The death of Mrs. N. Andersen, senr. at the age of 88 years caused widespread regret in the Pialba district, where she was loved and respected by a very large circle of friends and relatives. With her husband, who predeceased her six years ago, Mrs. Anderson was one of the original selectors in this district of whom there are now few if any living. Emigrating form Denmark at the age of nineteen years, Mrs. Anderson married some four months after her arrival in this country, and when the land was thrown open for selection the young couple settled at Kawungan and commenced farming. The property has remained In the family ever since. Mrs. Andersen loved, to recall the old days which, though full of hard work for which there was little return, were none the less happy and peaceful. Until they had split timber with which to build their home Mr. and Mrs. Andersen lived under a spring cart, and when times were bad on the farm, Mr. Andersen worked in Maryborough as engine-driver for Messrs. Wilson. Hart and Co., saw millers. walking home to Kawungan every few weeks to visit his wife and family, and walking back in time for work on Monday morning. Mrs. Andersen carried on during his absence, milking cows and making butter which was sold at 8d. per lb., growing sweet potatoes which sold at 9d. per quarter, both commodities having to be delivered to their customers at that price. Fortunately commodities were all much lower in price than nowadays, but Mrs. Andersen said even so there were many times when they could not make ends meet, and Mr. Anrieiscn would resume his job in Maryborough till they could save a little more money with which to carry on. Her failhlul companion was her dog which accompianed her everywhere, and was an adept snake-killer. Of a family of nine children, five girls and four boys-one, a boy. died in infancy, but the other eight are still living, and were all present at their parents' diamond jubilee celebration, eight years ago. when Mr. and Mrs. Andersen were living in retirement at Pialba. The farm was carried on first by their daughter and son-in-law. Mr. and Mr. G. Nissen, and now by a grandson and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. V. Nissen. Mrs. Andersen was a prominent member of the Pialba Mothodist Church, and a foundation member of the Ladies' Guild. Besides her family of eight, there are left 35 grandchildren and 48 great-grandchildren, many of whom are living in the Pialba district.

  Diamond Wedding Anniversary	8 May 1937	Maryborough Chronicle, Wide Bay and Burnett Advertiser, Queensland
  	DIAMOND WEDDING Celebrated by Mr. and Mrs. Neils Anderson, at Pialba The clerk of the weather paid a welcome tribute to Mr and Mrs Neils Andersen, of Pialba, when he provided perfect weather conditions on the 60th anniversary of their wedding on Thursday, April 29. A diamond wedding is at all times an auspicious occasion, but in the case of Mr and Mrs Andersen, it was rendered almost unique in that not only was the entire family of five daughters and three sons able to be present, but of the happy couple's 89 descendants, only eight were unable to attend. To celebrate so festive an occasion, and to accommodate so large a gathering a huge marquee was erected on the beautiful lawns of the residence of their son, Mr. N. J. Andersen. The breakfast tables were exquisitely decorated with choice flowers and fruits, and at the bride's table a handsome two-tier wedding cake, made by Mrs P Day (a grand-daughter) and decorated by Mrs P. J. Birt (daughter), attracted many admiring comments. The Rev. A. Hughes presided, and read messages of congratulation and good wishes from the following: Mesdames Jorgensen and Isaksen and families, Mr. and Mrs. Rickenberg and Mrs. Day. Miss Merle Smith (Caboolture). Mr. and Mrs. Julius Kunst and family (Sexton), Miss May Doss (Atherton), Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Birt and family, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Andersen (Gympie). Miss Vera Smith Grantham), the Methodist Ladies' Guild, Mr. and Mrs. Alcorn (Dagun),Mr. and Mrs. W. Hansen (Brisbane). Grace was sung and during the banquet hearty congratulations and good wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Andersen were heard over the wireless from 4MB followed by the song "Let's Grow Old Together." Mr. Hughes presented to the happy couple numerous presents from their old friends, and a substantial cheque from members of the family. He said it was a wonderful gathering, and although they were honouring Mr. and Mrs. Andersen on reaching their diamond wedding anniversary they were not really old. In fact, one could not help noticing that they were getting younger all the lime; they were looking forward to a time when they would be in a country where one never grew old. They were good Christians, and he congratulated them heartily. SON'S TRIBUTE TO PARENTS Mr Andrew Andersen, the eldest son, said he was very proud of his father. Looking back, he could not remember his father ever having lost his temper; he always took time to consider things. Like all pioneers, his parents had had to "rough it" very often, and he clearly recollected the many occasions when his father had to walk from Pialba, where they had a selection, to Maryborough, where he was employed as blacksmith, sawmiller, and later still, as engine-driver at Messrs Wilson Hart's mill. His mother also had been always loving and gracious, though she, too, had had to work very hard in the days when there was little to get and little enough to eat. He trusted their parents would be spared to them for many years yet. Mr G. C. Hansen (Dagun) said he and his wife (who is Mr and Mrs Andersen's eldest daughter) were very pleased to be present to do homage to their father and mother. It was a rare thing to be able to celebrate a diamond wedding day. These pioneers had had to put up with many hardships and in those early days it often happened that husbands were compelled to leave their families for months at a time to search for work. He felt sure they were grateful at having all their children together on this occasion, and wished them many more years of happiness. The company sang"For They Are Jolly Good Fellows" with enthusiasm On behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Andersen, Mr. Hansen thanked everyone who had assembled to help make this such a happy day, and also returned thanks for the beautiful presents. Special mention was made of Mrs. Day's kindness in making the cake, and those who had decorated it so prettily. Thanks were also given to Mr. Hushes for ably presiding over the gathering. Mr Hansen remarked that it was a unique gathering as there were present the family of eight, five daughters and three sons, death having taken no toll so far; and also 35 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. In fact all the descendants were present excepting eight. Plotos were taken of the guests of honour. LONG SEA JOURNEY Mr Andersen left Denmark, his birthplace, on the ship "Alardas" on November 10, 1872, landing in Maryborough in June, 1873. The passage was rough, and the boat reported missing several times during the voyage. Mrs Andersen left Denmark by the ship Lamasmerhagen in November, 1876, landing in Maryborough on January 18, 1877, and the two were married by Pastor Hansen in the Danish Church, Maryborough, on April 29, of the same year. For many years, they resided in Maryborough, where Mr Andersen was employed in Messrs Wilson and Hart's sawmill, for about thirty years, first as blacksmith, then as fireman, and later as engine driver. Forty years ago, Mrs Andersen and the family of eight left Maryborough to reside on a selection which Mr Andersen had taken up at Kawungan, near Pialba, while he himself continued to work for another six years at the sawmill, visiting the selection only at week-ends. Then he left the mill, and until 1915 made his living on the selection, in which year he and his wife retired to live quietly at Pialba. The family comprises Mr Andrew Andersen (Pialba), Mr J W Andersen (Lagoon Pocket), Mrs G C Hansen (Dagun), Mrs P. J. Birt (Scarness), Mrs A. W. Messer (Yerra), Mrs M. Nissen (Pialba), and Miss A. Andersen (Pialba), Mr J W Andersen, the youngest son, enlisted early in the Great War, and was a prisoner in Germany for a long period Maryborough Chronicle, Wide Bay and Burnett Advertiser, Queensland, Saturday, 8 May 1937
