It\u2019s February and Valentine\u2019s Day is almost here. <\/span><\/p>\n

I found an early Valentine\u2019s story about the second wedding of Amos Broadwater<\/strong> (1804-1901). It was published in the Baltimore Sun<\/em><\/strong> 28 Jan 1895. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Baltimore<\/a>Amos<\/strong> also lived in Garrett County, MD family \u2013 but he was more prosperous than Wooly Bittinger<\/span>. He was born in Loudon County, VA and died in New Germany, Garrett County, Maryland. <\/span><\/p>\n

His wife of more than 60 years, Sarah (Sigler) Broadwater<\/strong> (1809-1893) died in 1893. By that time their family had grown to 12 children; 99 grandchildren and 102 great-grandchildren. <\/span><\/p>\n

In January of 1895 at age 91 Amos, who was \u201chale and hearty and looks much younger,\u201d fell in love again and married Eliza Warwick<\/strong> a blushing bride of 51 years. The article went on to say \u201cMr. Broadwater<\/strong> is the oldest man in Garrett County and is quite well to do.\u201d The new couple had no children. <\/span><\/p>\n
