This ribbon was passed down to my grandfather, Clement Grobbel; most likely, it belonged to his grandfather, Franz Anton Grobbel. It measures 2.5 in. wide by 8.5 in. long. The reverse side has the same inscription, only it is embossed in silver on a black background. The fringe is made of gold metallic threads. The influence of German emigrants was still strong within the Parish in 1869, as evidenced by the use of the German words for "Welfare Society".
