Broken Heart
THE 62nd wedding anniversary
of Mr. and Mrs. Shrubsall, of Charlotte street, Sittingbourne, Kent, came round recently.
And that day they died within two hours of each other.
Mr. Shrubsall, who was 81, had been ill for two months, but his wife, a year younger, was apparently in perfect health.
She was doing odd jobs about the house to take her mind off her hus- hand's death when she collapsed.
HER WISH
"Mother died of a broken heart," a member of the family said. "She suld she had no further wish to live." The couple were known throughout the district as an example of married happiness.
They
had nine children. When they were married Mr. Shrubsall's brother acted as best man and Mrs. Shrubsnll's sister was bridesmaid.
A few weeks afterwards the best
