Sixty years of wedded life terminated on both sides within twelve hours! Such was the remarkable feature in connection -with the death, in his ninety-second year, of the Rev. Richard Harvey, Canon of Gloucester Cathedral, and of his wife, who had passed away in her eighty-sixth year, twelve hours earlier. There were married in Boston two couples whose united ages amount to 188 years. In the Wecylan Centenary Chapel a retired farmer named Barret, aged 75 years, was married to a widow named Beeson, aged 77 years; and at the Registry Office a labourer named Hcxsiiord, who had seen 72 summers, was married to a til-year-old widow named T’7hlte.
