Death of Uncle Aaron McKenny, o1
SacO, Me-, at the Ago Of 1O2.
Portland Eastern Argus.I

Portland Eastern ArgusI
Henry McKenny, the Oldest man In
Maine, died very suddenly at his late
residence in Saco. Thus has passed away
one of the most remarkable men of the
day. He lived to witness the establish.
ment of steamboat navigation, railroads
with their trains of luxuries cars, and
the telegraph wires encircling the earth.
Yet, strange to say, he never availed
himself Of either steamboat, locomotive
or telegraph. He never but once went
out Of the State of Maine. and then only
to Rochester, N. H., to recover stolen
horse. ..-.f.
Aaron McKenny, second son of Samuel
and Lucy (Rand) McKenney, was born
in Scarborough. now Saco, December Il.
1777, and in 1899 married Miss Lucy
Burnham, daughter Of Thomas and
Mollie Burnham, who was born in Scar
borough, now Saco, February 26, l77z,
and died January 1S, 1849.
He cut the first tree from the forrest
in settling his farm, and lived to see the
wilderness become fertile and cultivated
lands and to witness the. founding Ol
schools, churches and cities, to which hs
contributed his full share. At the ago
of ninety-nine, he attended to his farm
work and labored in the cornfeld, culti-
waiting piece by. himself, and at the age
of 100 years he was able to shave himself
He took an active interest in controlling
his own affairs, and with remarkable i'm
dependence Of action, when be had lived
more than century, spurned ths
attempt to place a guardian over him.
Mr.. McKenpy had three children, I've
daughters and one son, all Of whom died
| in infancy. He was strictly temperate
| in his habits, and never dr4nk, as a bev.
srage, any intoxicating Liz Iors. He did
not have.a physician called to attend
until he had reached his Tooth year. He
never sued any man or was sued prior 10
his Tooth birthday anniversary. He Wa
never desirous Of holding public Offices
and when at one time he was appointed
Justice of the Peace by the Governor
of the State he declined the honor. Ths
family is noted for longevity and one
brother, Samuel, lived to the age Of nins
ty-six. % Y
Aaron McKenny was always indus
trious and economical; his business life
had been successful, and for many Year,
he had lent money to people needing as
sistance, but he never accepted mors
than 6 per cent. interest. He lived
through every Administration Of the
United States, and was within one year
of the age Of the, Government. After
reaching his majority, in 1898, he frs,
quently voted, first as an anti-Federalist
afterwards as Democrat, through
period of eighty years. e
Mr.. McKenney was possessed Of re.
markable firmncss, never yielding point
until he was fully convinced Of his er.
ror. He had an analytical mind, which
remained clear and sound to the Lust m O.
ment of his life. In personal appearance
he was five feet ten inches in height,
weighed 160 pounds, Alue eyes, dark au'
burn hair and clear complexion.
