Paul Burr, of Kaff's Drug Store, returned this week after visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Burr of Smith Center. The elder Mr. Burr is 94, and Mrs. Burr was 85 last Sunday. Both are in good health. They have been married 69 years -- which must be some kind of a record -- and of their 12 children, nine are living.

Paul Burr, at Kaff's: "One section of Smith Center is called "Burrville" because I have so many relatives living in one neighborhood. Dad and mother live in the old family homestead, where I was born, which father built himself many years ago: and on each side live my brothers, in houses which father also built. My grandmother lives at the end of the same block."
