years of age, living in David City, Nebr., and doing just great.
Gladys told her she lived on a neighboring farm when she met Fred. Fred was
approximately 19 years older than Gladys and that he told her as she was growing
up he knew she was the girl he would marry.
The newlyweds lived in Surprise, Ne., when first married. Gladys was a cook in a
nursing home for a few years and then became a clerk in the Ulysses Township
Library. (Carolyn Wilkerson Woolsey)
