The story goes that Johnny had his eye on Kitty, and would watch her every Sunday at church. He eventually built up enough courage to go and knock on her door and ask for her hand in marriage. Kitty then opened the door wide, invited him into the house and showed him her mother-in-law and all her young children, saying that if he wants to marry her, he has to marry them all. Well, Johnny was in love and accepted the terms.

He was 50 and she was 43. They were married for 38 years when she died at the age of 81. Johnny died 3 and a half years later at the age of 91 years.
