Missouri couple celebrates 76 years of marriage

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF) – It’s a love story that dates back about eight decades, but a day they remember as if it was yesterday.

On July 10, 1948, Donald and Shirley Hartig tied the knot.

“It was close to 100 that day wasn’t it?” Shirley Hartig asked her husband.

“What?” he replied.

“It was close to 100 that day wasn’t it?” she repeated.

“Oh yeah,” he said.

Both born and raised in Wyandotte County, Kansas, they were 18 and 21 when they met through friends.

“We were together about three and a half to four years before we got married, and I had to wait until she got through with school,” Donald Hartig said.

And the rest, well, just hear it for yourself.

“Some of our friends said, ‘We’ll give you three years. This is not going to work,’ and they’re all dead now, so can’t prove anything,” Shirley Hartig said.

Seventy-six years later, the Hartigs’ love has only grown. They have four children, 10 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren with one on the way and two great-great-grandchildren.

“We didn’t intend to populate the Earth,” Shirley Hartig joked.

They still remember what they love most about each other.

“She’s real easy to get along with, and we really haven’t had any trouble in all these years,” Donald Hartig said.

Through life’s challenges, health issues and growing pains, they never left each other’s sides — unless it was to give some space during a disagreement. That’s just part of their secret to lasting love.

“People don’t know what love is anymore. Love is wanting something for the other person more than you want it for yourself,” Shirley Hartig said. “Always put the other person first.”

Now at 94 and 97 years young, these two love birds say it really is “’till death do us part.”

“Somebody’s going to have to give … ’cause you can’t live forever,” Shirley Hartig said.

The couple celebrated their wedding anniversary Wednesday with a family dinner at a loved one’s home, which is better than a restaurant, according to Donald Hartig.

Missouri warns public about 7-OH products – Missourinet

Missouri warns public about 7-OH products – Missourinet

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) has issued an advisory regarding 7-hydroxymitragynine, also known as 7-hydroxy and 7-OH.

It’s an extract of the kratom plant and it’s being marketed as a “natural remedy” for pain relief and brain stimulation. But 164 people in Missouri have died from using Kratom products since 2019, including those containing 7-OH.

Dr. Heidi Miller, Chief Medical Officer for DHSS compares 7-OH to an opioid, saying it can be up to 13 times stronger than morphine.

“Nationally, we have seen patients who have died from overdose have had kratom-type substances in their blood,” she told Missourinet. “Unfortunately, it’s very hard to distinguish between whether or not someone has taken the kratom leaf versus this concentrated 7-OH substance.”

Miller also said the Missouri Poison Center has seen a rise in 7-OH reported cases.

“You know, two years ago, we only had about 19 reports, and then the year after that (2024), we had 25 reports. And this year, 2025 – the year isn’t even done – and we already have 47 reports.”

Miller said 7-OH is unregulated, and products containing the compound can easily be purchased online or at convenience stores, without age restrictions.

“Seven-hydroxy products are sold as, like, little energy shots or powders that can be mixed into drinks,” she said. “There are also versions that can be dissolved in the mouth. There are versions that can be inhaled. There are gummies.”

Symptoms of 7-OH exposure may include:
