AGED PERSONS ARE MARRIED

Romance That Began Nearly Half a Century Ago Is Happily Ended.

Cleveland, O. —A romance which had its birth a half century ago in the public schools of Niles, but which was broken by a lovers’ quarrel, culminated Monday night at eight o’clock at the parsonage of Rev. T. Alfred Fleming at No. 9515 Pratt avenue, when Mrs. Emma Davis of No. 10720 Massie avenue and David Armstrong of No. 30521 Grantwood avenue were married. Mrs. Armstrong is fifty-eight years old, her husband is sixty-two. Armstrong and his bride were playmates in Niles 50 years ago. Almost constant association brought their two hearts together, and as years passed, plans were made for their marriage. Armstrong was then twenty-one. # Then came the lovers’ quarrel—a trivial disagreement' —and the twain drifted apart. Armstrong married; so did*his first love, and then nearly 40 years passed away. Death left them single again, and fate drew them together. Both settled in Cleveland scarcely a thousand yards apart. Their love dream of youth was resumed. And they began courting anew! The aged “newly weds” will make their home at 10720 Massie avenue.
