This Day in History: 1940-08-24
The twentieth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Huebner was celebrated by sixty guests at the couple’s home on Valley Road. The terrace was decorated with Japanese lanterns but it was so cool that the party had to be moved inside. The Huebners married on August 24, 1920 in St. Mary’s Church in Jamaica, Queens. They had moved to Mahwah in 1933 and operated the Ramapo Water Gardens, a popular tourist attraction because of its great variety of tropical fish. They used the occasion also to announce the engagement of their daughter Gloria Ann to Andrew Remo, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Remo of Meadowbrook Ave. The prospective groom was a popular athlete at Ramsey High School, having won All-County mention in basketball for two years. No date was announced for the wedding. (Bristow)
