Oct 24, 1895

Mr. and Mrs. Petts, eighty years of age, residing near Xenia, after a happy married life over half a century, found themselves childless and penniless with winter coming on. Relatives of the wife would care for her, but not the husband. With tears and fond embraces the old couple, who had lived together so many years, parted for this life, the wife to be taken away by her friends, and the husband to end his days in the poor house.
