“HITCHED” AT 94
OLD MAN’S THIRD BRIDE TORONTO, Feb. 28. “She is younger than 1 am, and will be able to look after me when I get old,” said Samuel Yarrow, 94 years of age, leading a bride of 68 to the altar. She will be Mrs. Yarrow No. 8. Most of Yarrow’s eight children, 47 grandchildren, 38 great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren were present at the wedding. Yarrow lived with his first wife for 60 years—long enough for a diamond jubilee. She died a week later. The second wife lived nine years married, and died last October. He won the third after a whirlwind mail courtship.
