- Perhaps it's not generally known that
that yeritable old gentlemen known as
the tsoldest iahabitant,' - resides IN our
county. His name is William Presser.,
He resides IN Washington Township,
about four miles from Grinnel, and is
now in his ninety fourth year. He was
one,of the first settlers IN this part of the
country, and from present appearances
bids fair to be a resident Of the country
for some years longer. -. s-el-.=<
Mr.. ProSser served as an artilleryman
during the war of 1912 and was in the
battles of Lundy' s Lane and Fort Erie.
He is quite vigorous, and will walk three
or four miles with ease. He has never
received a pension, but now thinks of
applying for one. , His mother'ns> family
were not long-fved, bat on his fathers
side they lived to- a. great age. His
fathers mother was married twice, and
her second husbands name was Van
Camp. They lived IN, North Hampton,
Pennsylvania. She lived to the age of
one hundred and fourteen years, and
raiSed to manhood, and: wnmanhood
rty children : Among them were
three pairs of twinst the latest pair be-
ing bern after she was sixty years Of age
: Now. + any body s grandm other can beat
that. Just let them speak out. The old
lady evidently had "a penchant for
twins, which appeared to run into old
age. She was undoubtedly adeseendant
of Mrs. Sarah Abraham, who is spoken
of in ancient history as being the happy
