Couple Celebrates 80th Wedding Anniversary

POSTED: 7:27 am EDT June 15, 2004

LENOX, Iowa -- A couple in the southwest Iowa town of Lenox have been married longer than many people live.

Dr. E. R. Pennebaker and Bessie Pennebaker celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary Monday. They were married June 14, 1924. He is 101 and she's 96.

Dr. Pennebaker was a chiropractor for 68 years, working out of the family's home. She helped with bookkeeping, but was mainly a homemaker.

The couple moved to Lenox Care Center a year ago after Bessie had a heart attack.
Her husband, who lost his hearing, now communicates through writing.
