Family lore reveals that Joseph Gulde met Anna Ayres while he was playing the piano for a band at a house party near Knightstown, Indiana. The beautiful young redhead apparently sat next to him on the piano bench while he performed for those gathered. He is alleged to have told a buddy later that day. I am going to marry that girl. Throughout their courtship, Joseph visited Anna at her childhood home in Raysville, Indiana. On one walk he asked her what she thought of his new hat and she jokingly told him that all it needed was some feathers in it. He threw the hat into a nearby stream. The couple would be married on May 30, 1921 and would remain together for over sixty years.
