Civil War Veteran, 70
Gets License for
Third Marriage
Old John J. Lonesomeness

Old John J. Lonesomeness is
a tough bird to buck.
He's been concentrating on
Joseph E. Pugh, seventy-nine
years old, and fresh from the
civil war. Today he showed Pugh
into the office Of Colonel Knoll
at the Court House. Everybody
knows what that means.
Mr.. Pugh admitted he'd hate
to grow older all by himself.
Somebody's shoulder as a head
rest would look good to him
particularly if Naty R. McCon-
nell, seventy-eight years young,
living in the same house with
Pugh at PIT Twelfth street
southwest, was directly con-
cerned.
Pugh, hale and hearty, con-
fided in Colonel Knoll as the
colonel was busy writing the IL
cense. Pugh said this was his
third trip to the altar, that Miss
Mcconnell was energetic and a
good housekeeper, and, finally,
that the matter OF age was insig-
nificant this side Of 100.
The bells will ring out tonight,
he said.
