June 9th, 1956 
in Beatttyville, Kentucky 
at a tiny Christan Church 
near the railroad tracks,
Blanche Mae Webb married
Norman Douglas Waterbury.
For sixty five years
they were never apart. 
Today would have been 
sixty eight years, but
she died in 2021.
He still remembers 
spending the night in
Paintsville,Kentucky on
their wedding night as
they headed back to
Averill Park, New York 
where they would begin 
their life together.
