Kurt and Eileen,
and a bit more..

dar um der lieber Gott _______ das wir zusammen kommen _____ und glucklich.

dass uns der liebe Gott hilft, daß wir zusammenkommen (kuhmen) können (kehnen) und glückliche Ehe verbringen.
There is a slash before the word "kehnen".
Can't decipher what she is asking for.
"Ehe" means marriage.
So I think that were greetings from his wife, Katherina ???
from Germany to the USA.
And yes, Eileen, I also think they were "Donauschwaben", Danube Swabians. http://www.donauschwaben-usa.org/
