Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher have been married for more than 84 years-setting the world record for the Longest marriage for a living couple.

They watch TV together but she leaves when the baseball game comes on. They now have separate bedrooms and she says he can stay up until the last ball is thrown.

The two sit on the porch and as a train goes by they count the cars. They also watch the neighbors who walk by.

Herbert was born June 10, 1905. His hearing is going but his mind is sharp.

Zelmyra was born Dec. 10, 1907. She uses a walker to get around the house and yard.

The two of them can still give their reasons for marrying on May 13, 1924.

“He was not mean; he was not a fighter,” Zelmrya said. “He was quiet and kind. He was not much to look at but he was sweet.”
