Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 February 1909 — Aged Couple Married. [ARTICLE]

Aged Couple Married.

Thursday afternoon at the court house occurred, the marriage of Levi N. Paye and Eliza J. D&nn, both of Chicago. Rev. J. C. Parrett performed the ceremony. Tbe groom was seventy-two years old and the bride Sixty-one. The bride was a gracious old lady whose hair was whi' e and the groom was gray haired veteran inventor. Both were very active old people. Although they were old, their hearts yyere young and they appeared to be as much in love as any young couple with visionary ideas of married life. Each had been married once before and their former spouses are now with the “spooks.” They had evi-' dently found married life a very satisfactory proposition as each seemed delighted that they were again entering on a newly married career. The meaning this has to the young people will depend upon their point of view. To some who believe that “an old fool is the worst of fools," {the example of this venerable old couple is not likely to be emulated. But, those who have had it indelibly Impressed in their minds to heed the advice and example of older ones “who always know better by experience” —if nothing else— are likely to materially increase a certain line of business in the county clenlrs office. The Republican extends [congrautlations and wishes them a long and happy married life, which is equivalent to wishing that each may become centenarians.
