Again, an article from a local paper thought you might like this.. enjoy Mr. and Mrs. George Wall (Handwritten date - 1952) On November 19, 1885, Mr. and Mrs. George Wall were united in marriage near Hawkeye, Mo., in the home of Rev. E. Strutton, and last week, on November 19, they celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary in their home south of Iberia on Highway 17. Mrs. Wall is 86 and Mr. Wall is 88 years of age. Both of these people enjoy good health considering their age. A few years ago Mrs. Wall suffered a broken leg, but by holding to near-by furniture she is able to go about her home. This remarkable couple has remained young in spirit, and when guests call at their home they go away feeling they have had a most pleasant visit with a few extra laughs thrown into the conversation. Friends who called recently in the Wall home were told about a kerosene lamp which is still in use. The elderly couple have never had electric lights installed in their home. Mr. Wall bought the lamp 59 years ago from the late John Casey, in Iberia. Mr. Wall gave Mr. Casey a cord of wood and in return he received the lamp and 50 cents. The original chimney on the lamp was replaced and the lamp is in use every evening. They have a collection of tin-type pictures and among them was the picture of a man, a Mr. Greenstreet, who sold Mr. Wall his first horse. The Walls have lived on their present farm for the last 63 years. They do most of their work and during the cold days a common sight is that of Mr. Wall storing his winter's supply of wood out of the winter weather. Mr. and Mrs. Wall have four children. They are Mrs. Harry Haus, Mrs. Joe Bond and Fred Wall of near Iberia and Arthur Wall of Lamar, Missouri. ANNIVERSARY OF MR. AND MRS. G. A. WALL The home of Mr. and Mrs. G. A.
