TWIN BROTHERS 64 YEARS

The Lingofelters Visit Old Friends at Waverly

After Visiting Ohio Day Friends and Old Neighbors They Will Visit California and Back Home

Twin brothers who have almost reached the three score years and ten and who have spent their lives together were at the depot this morning on the way to Waverly to attend the annual Ohio Day picnic, and also to visit with old friends for a couple of days.

These old gentlemen are M. J. Lingofelter and J. A. Lingofelter, of Syracuse, Ind. The Lingofelters used to live in the neighborhood of Waverly and farmed there for almost twenty-three years before moving to Indiana. They are going to California to visit another brother before returning to their home in Indiana.

They are sixty-four years old now and both are enjoying the best of health and are firm believers in having a good time in your older days.
