| DEATH OF A CENTENARIAN.-The Tow
sontown Union records the death, in Balti-
more county, ola colored woman, named
Henrietta Crack, at the remarkable age of
one hundred and fifteen. She had belonged,
in former years, to the family of Mr. d. Jeni-
fer, at whose house she died Ninety years
ago, at the age of twenty-five, she came to
Baltimore county, from the Eastern Shore,
as nurse for Mr.. JenifeI's great grandmoth.
er. The Union adds
! Henrietta, or aunt Henry" rs she was
Familiarity called by the family, was most
J remarkable woman in every particular. Up
] to within very short period previous to her
death she was able to move about and so
industrious was she that she always insisted
on performing her part of the domestic du-
. ties. She however, was persuaded by her
good mistress to occupy her time otherwise,
and she finally concluded to fill up the spare
moments by making quilt for one of Mr..
Jenifer's little grand children From this
idea Mrs Jenifer tried to dissuade her, but
finding her so persistent, she finally yielded
to her opportunities and furnished her the
materials for the quilt. The industrious old
soul, with most remarkable perseverance
went TO work and in an incredibly short
space of time she had the quilt completed,
and when it was presented to Mrs. Jenifer,
who had no idea the work would ever be
finished, our readers may well imagine her
surprise. We are assured by Mr. j., that
the work was done in the most exquisite style,
and that too without the use of spectacles,
or without the assistance of any one.
This remarkable woman remained in the
family in which she died through six genera
tons. She was most faithful and cXceel-
lent servant, and her death is mourned as
though she had been near and dear rela,
| tive.
