Missouri Couple Marks 78 Years Os Marriage

■Humphreys, Mo., Feb. 9 — (UP) — “Grandpa” and “Grandma” Cutsinger were the calmest residents 1 of this tiny central Missouri town - today on their 78th wedding anniversary. But they were intensely proud of • their long married life, a union , which began back when panther - and deer roamed the Ozarks. f “Grandpa” and "Grandma” CutI singer both asked that there be no . fuss and feathers today. They said . they just weren’t u,p to a big cele--1 bration, especially “Grandpa.” T. D. Cutsinger, who has seen > 95 birthdays, fell about two weeks • ago and hurt a foot. He has been in bed since. t “Grandma” Cutsinger was spry, . however, and refused to let her 94 1 years slow her down. Until the re- • cent extremely severe weather . coated Humphreys with ice and . snow, she did her own shopping , and went to the postoffice regular- • lyOn her anniversary, which she , thinks may be a record for length, . “Grandma" can read without glass- . es. She still knits and sews. And she chews with her own teeth. A pile of cards on the front room table today contained thd good wishes of virtually every household • in Humphreys, population 200. . There were other hundreds of cards [ from all over the country, too. But t most residents of the town refrained from calling at the honse. They said they didn’t w'ant to risk 1 "upsetting” the aged pair. “Girandpa” ended a covered wagon trip from Edinburg, Ind., with

his bride-to-be and her parents in Taney county in southwest Missouri. The couple lived in the Ozarks only briefly, then moved to the richer, rolling cornlands of this region where “Grandpa” spent near ly a half-century working as a farmer on rented' land. He raised corn and sold it for 20 cents a ibushel. He admittedly has dropped off the pace, but refuses to try to understand why moderns have to spend so much to live. “Grandma” does the talking for both of them, usually. She recalls that she married “Grandpa” when they were 16 and 17, respectively. “We grew up with our children." she said, “and understood their problems ” The Cutsingers’ nine living children, along with 26 grandchildren, 47 great grandchildren and six great great grandchildren are so widely separated that few of them were able to. attend the anniversary. “Grandma" and “Grandpa" live with their oldest child, Mrs. Dorothy Larkin, 77. Another daughter, Mrs. Liza Kingsley, 72, lives here also and visits her parents daily. Airs. Kingsley recalled earlier celebrations, which were always “big affairs,” in contrast to today's simple dinner and modest cake. The dinner naturally included fried chickens and gravy and whipped potatoes. But is was nothing fancy. “Grandpa and ‘ Grandma," who say hard work is responsible for their long lives, preferred finally to take it easy.
