Published in the German Catholic paper: 21 May 1874 Tages-Blatt Columbia [Milwaukee, WI]. Surname left as spelled in the paper.
[translation]
There is a strange gravestone in the Catholic church field at Wyocena, not far from Portage. It has two fields because two deceased people rest under it, namely a married couple. One field has the inscription:
James Longe, died March 21, 1871, aged 93 years
The other field shows:
Nancy Longe, died March 21, 1871, aged 91 years.
So both of them lived to be over ninety years old and died on the same day, in the same month and in the same year.
