As I understand it, he noticed her when he went into the 'five and dime store'. She was working at the candy counter. Over the next several weeks, he bought a lot of candy. That started the relationship.
She was from a well-to-do family in Beaver Falls. He was from a very common family in New Brighton. He was a nail-maker.
She was Scottish Presbyterian. He was Free Methodist.
She had two sisters; he had five.
His name: Leonard; hers: Hazel. Love happened and they were married on this date in 1934. From their love came Jeannette, Ira, Beverly, and Harold.
They married "till death do us part." Death parted them when she died on October 10, 1981. He reunited with her in July, 1992. They're together today worshipping and serving the Lord they loved!
Jeannette, Ira, Beverly, and Harold? All serving Christ! All still in their first marriage (although Jeannette's husband has transferred to Heaven)! The legacy of faith lives on! Thanks be to God!
