65 years without a fight Leatherwoods celebrate
In a North Carolina farm community Myrtle Noland and Parker Leatherwood mark 85 years of marriage with a quiet life together. They wed March 20 and soon moved to Myrtle Point then Coquille where Parker worked as a bull team logger. Myrtle, now 86, recalls cooking and canning while Parker, nearly 90 in May, worked long hours and stayed close to home. They credit keeping quiet during disputes as the secret to a long union.
