Just to highlight it.

married November 23, 1927 at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Uniontown (Union
Co., KY) by Rev. Julian T. Peters.

They had 16 children, 12 survive, 41 grandchildren, 33 great grandchildren,
and 2 great great grandchildren, so far.  They live in a home near Henshaw
that he built in 1941. 

It says the couple are evidently the longest married couple in the county's
history. They were honored with a reception on Saturday, November 22 at the 
St. Francis Brogia Parish Hall in Sturgis.  They renewed their vows during 
the 5:30pm mass Saturday (Nov. 22) at St. Ambrose Church near Henshaw.
