Going out on a double date in 1936 was the start of a 72 year love affair,for the Cortland Ohio couple John and Margaret Marsh.
Even though the dates they had that night were not with each other, John said he knew that "Margaret was the only girl for him."
The Marshes have been together for 72 years they celebrated the milestone on Easter.
John A. ‘‘Pappy’’ Marsh, 94, and Margaret ‘‘Queenie’’ Darbey Marsh, 92, were married on March 23, 1936.Both attended school locally, with Margaret graduating from Howland High School and John from Warren G. Harding.
John worked 32 years as a foreman at Republic Steel where he retired,while Margaret sold Avon products.The family honored the Marshes at a party at Eat & Park in Warren and then a party at Gillette Nursing Home.
Four generations of the Marsh family attended the party.
