SMITH, Elias M. - 60th Anniversary - Putnam

On March 13 Elias M. SMITH and Sarah A. Smith had been married exactly 60 years, having been joined in wedlock near Cincinnati in 1834. . . . . . on their farm six miles SW of town. When the time came for them to build a more convenient home they removed the cabin and put the new house on the old site. They still live in that house and consequently have dwelt on the same spot for 58 years, a record rather uncommon after the migratory period through which Indiana has passed.
