Last Thursday, the 2Sth of August, a large
number of the relatives of Mrs. Charlotte
Montague Stafford met at the old homestead
to remind her that she had reached her
eighty-second milestone. Most of those pres
ent, aside from her own family, were her rel
atives on the Montague and Kinsley side,
among whom were the seven sons and one
daughter of her cousin, Benn A. Kinsley, who
had just held family reunion at the home of
F. K Montague in Fletcher, where for the
first time in their remembrance they all
slept beneath the same roof. Several of those
present were schoolmates of Mrs. Stafford
and very naturally their thoughts went back
to the time when they were boys and girls to-
gether and as at the close of the day they
gathered about the bountifully spread table
many comparisons were made between the
times of their early remembrance and the
present. And as they separated at an early
hour all felt that it was one of the pleasant
things to be remembered. Mrs. Stafford has
spent seventy of those eighty-two years in the
same house where she now lives, and it is
safe to say that the amount of work she has
done in the household and in society has been
equalled by few and exceeded by none. and
notwithstanding her four score and more
years. the girls of to-day are scarce indeed
who can get through more hard work and
walk more miles in day to relieve some
poor sufferer than she, and that she may be
spared to count many more birthdays is the
hope of her many friends.
