"A Ccntcnarian.

Mrs. Ann Egan, who resides with h er
daughter, Mrs. John Col!igan, about 5 mics
north Of this city in the town of Emmett,
Dodge County, is undoubtedly the oldest
person living to-day in the State CT Wscon-
sin, and may well lay claim to being one Of
the Oldest in the West. From the data furn-
ished by herself and family we find that
Mrs. Egan was born at Tullyhady, County
Tippecay, Ireland, 10 the year 1885, ana she
has therefore reached the extraordinary age
of one hundred end nine gears She has been
wife of one husband and the mother of
nine children, Mrs. Colligan, now about
IS years Of age, being, we believe, her young
est child. \ rother of Mrs. Egan. youn-
ger than herself died some three years
since at Lima, New York, at one hundred
and four years of age, and another brother
living is now nearly eighty years old. 1t
will thus be seen that this woman be'o1gs
to long lived stock. Mrs Egan has lived
with her daughter in Emmett % years, and
in conversation with with her soD-in law
Mr.. Colligan, last week we learned she was
still quite active and healthy resting we'll
and having remarkably good appetite Un-
til within few years past she was able 10
thread needle and even now her eyesieht
is far from being poor, but she has wholly
lost her hearing. Her intellect re nained good
up to six years ago and she is now of course
quit childish. So far as appearances 90
this remark able woman bids fair to live
many years yet.
What mighty changes have been wrou chit
in the worlds history during tie life time
of this woman! Dynasties and nations
have arisen and crumbIed into dust; some
of the greatest men OF modern times Shave
been born and died. When Mrs. Egan was
born America was struggling colony of
Great Britain, and Washington a young
man OF 33 years Of age. At the birth of
this notion in l776 she was a girl of IL wears
of age, and % years old at the adoption of
of the Constitution of the United States in
1887. She was contemporary of her dis
tinguished countrymen Burke, Curraa and
Grattan, and four years of age when the
great Napoleon first saw light. Daniel
OConnell was not born until Mrs Egan
was ten years Of age, and when tie mem
orable rebellion Of 1898 broke outin her
native land she had been married woman
for several years. She was fifty years old
when the battle of Waterloo was fought in
1915, which decided the fate of Napoleon.
The great age this remarkable woman has
attained can be best realized when we look
back through the vista of the past and see
tn great events that have occurred from
the time she was born down to the present.
Mrs. Egan is we'll worthy to be consider ed a
connecting link between the past and the
present, and she may safely be set down as
among the Oldest persons who have ever
lived on this continent.
