Mr. and Mrs. Sigvart York observed their sixtieth wedding anniversary March 24, 1974. An open house was given in their honor at the Griggs County Nursing Home by their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Sig Amundson. Around 85 people came, greeted them on their special day, and had coffee with them.
During their 60 years of married life they lived on several different farms around the Binford community. In 1944, they retired from farming and moved into Jessie, North Dakota, until the fall of 1971 when they moved into the nursing home at Cooperstown to make their home.
They have three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
