Fort Worth, Texas, July 16.--Even death failed to separate Jefferson Sauder, 80, and Mrs. Mary E. Sauder, 78, married for more than half a century. Side by side, they will be laid to rest in the same casket in the little cemetery at Hurst, Sunday afternoon, after the span of more than an average lifetime, during which, they were never separated. Only a few days intervened between their deaths. Mrs. Sauder passed away at the old homer near Hurst, Wednesday; her husband following Friday afternoon. Both death were caused by infirmities incident to age. Twenty-four grand children and nineteen great-grand children survive. Both were taken ill about the same time, and of the same malady. Sauder and his wife were Tarrant County pioneers and widely known in the Hurst neighborhood. They were married sixty years ago, their eldest child being 58 years of age. |
