California couple, married 67 years, die holding hands
(Reuters) - A California couple, married 67 years, died hours apart while holding hands this month, their daughter said on Thursday.
Floyd Hartwig, 90, and wife Violet, 89, died on Feb. 11 in their home in Easton, California, outside Fresno, their family said.
The couple had known each other since they were children and married in 1947 while Floyd was on leave from the Navy, going on to settle in a ranch in Easton.
