Maine Couple To Celebrate 80th Wedding Anniversary
A Washington County couple, Kathleen and Waldo Tarbell, will be celebrating their 80th wedding anniversary Saturday in Lubec. Waldo is 101 and Kathleen will turn 100 in June.
Maine's Office of Vital Records couldn't say whether the Tarbells' marriage is the longest in the state. The 2007 Guinness Book of World Records lists a Rhode Island couple wed for 83 years as having the longest marriage.
Kathleen was from Pembroke and Waldo from Meddybemps. He worked for the Maine Central Railroad and she worked in sardine plants after their two children had grown.
The Tarbells had been living in Pembroke until a few weeks ago. After Kathleen was hospitalized with back problems, Waldo moved into the nursing home and she later joined him.
