Scope and Contents

Excerpt from newspaper clipping reads as follows:

If Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Golden occasionally get the feeling that there are a lot of people around them, it's understandable. Their home at 456 St. Anthony is at the exact center of St. Paul's 311,000 plus population.
The elderly couple--she was 71 in January and he'll be 71 in June--have lived in the house, which they rent, the last 23 years. They have no children. Married 43 years, the Goldens have lived in St. Paul since about 1918. Mrs. Golden was born in Joplin, MO., and Mr. Golden in HArtford, CT. They were married in Hannibal, MO. They've remained in St. Paul because they like it here. But it wasn't that way at first.
