Gratz Sesquicentennial Parade, 1955 – Willier Family Float

A 1955 photograph of the Willier Family Float in the Gratz Sesquicentennial Parade, Gratz, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.

Pictured on the float are Clayton H. Willier (1892-1980) and his wife, not identified, and four of their grandchildren, also not identified. The signs on the float indicated that the family was “patented” in Amsterdam in 1777 and also promoted the purchase of the souvenir book, of which Clayton was on the committee.
