AS OLD AS The NATION.
Mrs. Arnold Was a Schoolgirl When
Washiu < ton Was Inaugurated.
Ernrn The Cincinnati E1nmfror

Mrs. Arnold Was a Schoolgirl When
WashiuRton Was Inaugurated.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The interest that is manifested of late in
longevity calls the attention of his commu-
nifty to the life of NJ s. Margaret Ar old,
who resides with her son. Henry Arnold,
on a well-kept thousand-acre farm, about
seven miles east of Washington Court
House, o. The old lady is actu ally 112
years of age.
Her maiden name was Margaret Kiser,
and she was born near Richmond, Va,
June 4, 1777, just one year after the signing
of the Declaration of | dependence, and
| shouli sle live until June 4 next, she will
be 112 years of age.
In 1918 Margaret moved to Ohio and To-
Gated at ChillIcothe. She was married
when a handsome miss to Frederick A mold
and became the mother of five children, two
daughters and three sons, the two youn est
sons being twins. One of the twins, Will
lam Arnold, is living at Greenland. Ross
county, Ohio, aged 10 years. The h lsband
of Mrs Arnold died more tlau half a en-
fury ago, and she has ever since remained
a widow.
About seventy wears ago Mrs. Arnold be-
gan smoking tobacco, kept uo th S
practice until six months ago Sne still
occasionally calls for her pine, but when
her pipe is lighted and brought to he she
cannot SMOKE. She has excellent appe-
ii e, and eats anything that young and
Wig rous people do. She complains of
nothing that is set before her. Her diges-
tion is good, and. range as it may seem, in
all her long life she never had a physician
call ID to wait on her and never lost meal
on account of sick less.
Mrs. Arnold is ) feet ? inches in hight I'd
weighs 110 pounds. She has not worked
any for more than three years, when g
knit pair of stockings for her little gra ID
son.
The stockings have been preserved as
relics, to show what excellent work tae old
lady performed at the age of 10S years
There are four members of her fathers
family more than 100 wears of age. TIE
Oldest sister, RS. Elizabeth Hillard, vas
at last accounts still living in Lynn county,
Iowa, having been twice ma ried She IS
three years older than Mrs. Arnold, and is
therefore 115 years of age. The other sister,
Mrs. John Baily, IS living III * ia, at the
age of 109 years. The old lady is in 60
health, has good eyesiglt and is able to
walk about in the yard. Villa Kiser,
the only living brother still resides al the
old home place, near Richmond, Va, aged
l04 ca S.
We doubt if there is a family in the
United States that can show such record
for longevity:
