Man, 70, Takes A Bride Of 66

Retired Stone Mills Farmer and Local Woman Wed

George Edward Sanford, prosperous retired farmer of Stone Mills, who has lived his allotted three score and ten years, but who is still hale and hearty, was married this afternoon at 2:30 to Mrs Martha J Reese of 517 Lamon street. The ceremony was performed by Rev JJ Hoffman of Hope Presbyterian church at the manse. They were attended by Mr and Mrs C Klock of 664 West Main street, son and daughter- in- law of the bridegroom.

In securing the marriage license this morning, Mr Sanford gave his age as 70 years, while his bride said she was four years his junior. They will go on a short wedding trip and thereafter make their home at Stone Mills. This is the second marriage for both, each having lost their first mate by death.
