March 22 1901

Mention was made in yesterday's News that John F Ingram, of Elkview, was 
celebrating his 80th birthday and that a number of West Chester people had 
gone down there. Another item mentioned the marriage of Miss Sarah A Ingram 
daughter of Hilborn D Ingram, of Elkview, to Albert Agnew Eves, of the same 
neighborhood, which took place at the hour of noon. Probably outside of the 
immediate circle of acquaintances of the parties but few of the readers of 
the News would connect the two items in their minds, and yet the two events 
were enjoyed by the same company. Hilborn D Ingram is the son of John f Ingram 
and the bride is the latter's granddaughter. Both of the events passed of 
pleasantly. In one respect it was a remarkable company. Mr Ingram and his 
five brothers, all in good health, formed a quintet, whose combined ages 
foot up exactly 400 years. They are W Torbert Ingram, who will be 84 in 
December next; C Marshall Ingram, who will be 82 in August; John F Ingram, 
whose 80th birthday they are celebrating; James A who was 78 in January last 
and Alban P Ingram who will be 76 in august next.

Mrs. Rupert their only sister, who is younger than any of the men, with her 
husband William G Rupert of Westter, was there also.

It would be hard to duplicate such a gathering as that in any one family.
