The couple lived on farms in Scott and Cedar counties until 1911 when they retired and moved to Durant where Mr. Paustian died April 17, 1935. ding anniversary in 1932.[ this is how the obituary reads. Evidently a sentence got cut off. I suspect it says that they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1932.]
