I am adding a write-up my sister has in her family tree.
"I had the pleasure of meeting Great-Aunt Rosie on several occasions. She was a wonderful cook (in her obit, it was noted that everyone would sure miss her cooking) and I never heard her say anything bad about anyone.
She was not really interested in the family tree but did have it written in her family Bible as far as her great grand parents which gave me some information. She and Uncle Con were married 63 years, having gone off and married without telling anyone, including her father. Two weeks later, having avoided seeing him, Uncle Con ran into him in town. Nathan told him he may as well bring her on home and move in there since "the deed was done."
They lived in the house that Nathan and Maggie had raised their family until they retired from farming and moved into Mountain Grove. They then moved to Springfield, Missouri, buying the house next door to their daughter, Geneva.
They died the same day. Aunt Rosie apparently had a heart attack in the bathroom and the shock was too great for Uncle Con, when he found her. He was found laying across her on the bathroom floor".

So as they were in life, they remain together, joining the Lord that day hand in hand.
