My grandfather use to take us to visit this couple. Cal Rupe was blind so her husband had set up guide ropes for her to follow if she went out into the back yard (so she would not get lost). She died on January 7 and he died on January 8, had a combined funeral service. My Dad was helping to dig Cal's grave when someone came and told them to dig the second grave for William.
