expecting, however, to put fly in any
body's ointment We have probably died all
along in East Dorset sooner than we should,
because we didn't have any resident doctors.
But recently two good ones have located
permanently among us and we are taking
more medicine than formerly and we ex-
pect to get our moneys worth and attain
to green old age. And then it seems that
persons who are pretty good, like the he
roes and heroines of..Sunday books,
are quite apt to die young. Also those
who wear large night-caps and hats OF the
Daniel Webster pattern. These stubborn
facts have probably been against us. Mel
ancholy marks some OF us for his own.
Some of our robust people go around hum
ming, II would not live Away" And If |
one really bankers after something he gen.
orally gets 1t sooner or later 1t is safe to |
bet that these people will have their yearn-
ings highly gratified. All these things and |
more not mentioned occasion misgivings in |
our present attempt. If one were allowed
| to count time by "heart throbs," if we
were to consider 'wisdom the gray hair to
man and an unspotted life old age" then
we shouldn't be afraid to "trot out" East
| Dorset before the numerous literdh and
| iterdtui who read THE GLOBE. But as IL
is our mind is profoundly penetrated with
the disagreeable idea that we are next.
| Still we follow suit as we have said.
The oldest person now living in Dorset
| 10 Isaac Farewell, age 81 this month. He
| 10 mot infirni, but seems all right, eats,
drinks and sleeps well and takes exercise
by work and walks erect and in good style.
"Uncle" Daniel Curtis, the Oldest post
master in the United States, until quite
lately almost as active as a young man, was
81 last Sabbath,
Josephus r. Jacobs, soldier Of 1912,
was So the 18th day of January last He
takes his meals as regularly as his pension,
walks about the house and near home, and
still enjoys life and good story.
1t is quite common to find persons among
us near or not far from eighty years of
age. The wife Of Mr.. Jacobs is q little
over 80, as is also Joseph Sexton and many
others Yet both of theee appear but little
advanced in the down hill Of life.
Several persons of somewhat greater age
than those we have mentioned have died
here within short time. Mr.. Jarvis An
drus, aged about SO Mrs. Olive Deming,
nearly &c; Mr.. James Stewart, said TO
, have been 100; "Unclc" Jonathan Hulett,
aged o., and so spry and clear of intellect
that he seemed only young man. He had
, few, if any gray hairs, and was not bowed
with age in the least. 1t really appeared
] as if he would have to move out of East
Dorset when ho wanted to die, but one day
be caught severe fall on the ice and not
many days after he died.
His brother William Hulett, who lived
, much or most of his life in Dorset, and
whose remains have a final resting place in
: one Of our cemeteries, died at the age OF
| 101. And this is about how it is for Ion.
y gevity among us.
