Aged Couple Occupy One Grave Trod Life's Pathway Together for Forty-Three Years

The Angel of Death visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Priddy at Racine and called from earthly scenes this aged couple after a journey together through life of forty-three years. Saturday evening as the sun was sinking in the Western horizon, this aged hero of many battles passed fronm the realms of this world to the realities of another following a brief illness of three days from dysentery. Sunday morning as the twilight of a Sabbath day was burning over Eastern hills a messenger of death called for the partner of nearly half a century and the bonds that released her from her many years of suffering were severed and her spirit joined that of her husban's in another world. Mrs. Priddy had been an invalid and confined to her bed for fifteen years and her soul care and support and support devolved upon the husband whose kind care and devotion is worthy of special notice. Mr. Priddy and wife moved to Racine several years ago from Jackson County, W. Va. where their people now reside. Deceased was a soldier of the late civil war, being a member of Co. F, 4th Reg. W. Va. Infantry. They have four children, viz: Mrs. Oliver Coe, of Antiquity, Mrs. Adda Graham, of Verona, Pa. C. E. Priddy Priddy, of Rochester, Pa., and another son, Charles, who went to the Phillipine Islands seventeen years ago and who has not been heard from for several years. The funeral services were held from the residence Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Myers officiating, after which two hearses bore them to Greenwood cemetery and they were tenderly laid side by side in one grave. Undertaker Curtis had charge of the burial.
