Oldster and Teen Honeymoon in Mississippi
In Hernando, Mississippi, 76-year-old farmer John G. Tatro married 14-year-old Mary Lou Lawson after obtaining a license in an adjoining county. The ceremony was performed by Primitive Baptist minister James P. Sandefur in Apy Beach, as the circuit clerk’s office had denied the license earlier.
