Bald Eagle Couple Celebrates 70th Anniversary

It started as a simple request for a ride home that blossomed into a fruitful marriage.

Milford and Better Buterbaugh just celebrated 70 years of marriage.

They grew up four miles from each other, but with their eight year age difference, it took some time for their paths to cross.

Mr. Buterbaugh just turned 96 last week. Mrs. Buterbaugh is 88.

After two years of dating, the Buterbaughs eloped in Virginia.

Mr. Buterbaugh spent 36 years in the railway industry.

Mrs. Buterbaugh taught Sunday school for 57 years while raising their three children.

They now have two grandchildren.

They say the secret to their marriage is always being loving and forgiving and never go to bed angry with one another.
