Reception held in celebration of Reents jubilee

AUSTINTOWN -- Mr. and Mrs. William Reents, 3874 Dunbar Ave., were honored Aug. 19 during a reception held at St. George Croatian Hall in Youngstown in celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary.
Arrangements for the event were made by the couple's children and their spouses, Debbie and Carl Alexander of Austintown, Gary and Fran Reents of Kettering, and Mark and Carrie Reents of Waycross, Ga. Five grandchildren complete the family.
St. Anthony Church in Youngstown was the setting Aug. 18, 1951, as Mr. Reents and the former Francis Traino were united in marriage.
