Louise and Bert

Louise and Bert Buntain, who have been married since 1942, pray before breakfast. Louise Buntain teaches Sunday school. Bert Buntain is a deacon.

Bert and Louise Buntain, married since 1942, play with dog Bandit in the tobacco stripping shed on their Lawrenceburg farm.

Bert and Louise Buntain attend the burial of 95-year-old John McGaughey, the grandfather of their daughter-in-law. "How's it gonna be when they go back home? It's gonna be sad for awhile," Louise Buntain says after the burial. "If he knew Jesus Christ died for him then he was looking foward to meeting him in heaven," Bert Buntain says.

Bert and Louise Buntain, married in 1942, sit in their Anderson County home where they have lived for 33 years. "Ain't nobody else would have us," Bert Buntian said. "We'll probably hang together 'til we're gone."

Louise Buntain, 79, makes her bed in the morning. She and husband Bert have slept in different beds since 1983. "It's a small bed. Just got in the habit. He wiggles. I wiggle," Louise says as she laughs.
