Huntington, W.Va., Sept. 12-An elopement that breaks the record in Lawrence County, Ohio, occurred two weeks ago but has leaked out. Albert Crawford, aged 58, father of Sheriff Payne of that county, and Mrs. Sarah Brammer, aged 76, eloped to Ironton and were married without knowing their relatives.
Today the aged groom announced that he had taken a wife to himself- and then there was trouble. The bride and groom have several children, grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, the youngest of which is 11 years of age. Mr. and Mrs. Crawford were undoubtedly the oldest eloping couple in southern Ohio. Sistersville (WV) Daily Oil Review, 12 Sept. 1904, page four
