Couple Divorced 50 Years to Remarry

July 31, 2012

There are all kinds of love stories, but few are as enduring and reaffirming and yes, even inspiring, as the tale of Lena Henderson and Roland Davis of West Seneca.

They are not, to be frank, your typical newlyweds, but when they join hands Saturday at the age of 85, there will be a sense of fulfillment, maybe even restoration, among the four generations on hand to see it happen.

This is their second time around – they married each other as teenagers but later divorced. And now, after nearly 50 years apart, they are marrying again.
