    3. DAILY MESSENGER Mayfield, KY March 25, 1907 ____________________ TWO AGED MEN __________ Brothers-in-Law, One Eighty and the Other Eighty-Seven Years Old, Buried the Same Day and Place. Benton, March 23.-Squire S. S. Cope, aged eighty-seven, and Thomas Pace, aged eighty, brothers-in-law, died yesterday, and were buried today at the same graveyard. A large crowd attended the funeral. These were both old land marks of Marshall County and were once well known there. They lived between Benton and the Calloway County line, and both had many relatives, both in Graves and Marshall counties. Their death leaves but a few of the old pioneers in the county who were born 75 years ago or more. They are fast passing to their final reward, and only a few years will pass when not one will be left to tell the tale of "early times" in West Kentucky. The early "brush breaker" is becoming scarce.
