Serious Illness OF Mrs. Mary W. Jones
Was the Woman Centenarian9
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatchl
ScorrsvULE. Va. January II, 1891.
The very serious illness of Mrs. Mary w.
Jones, a most estimable lady residing near
this place. has caused her absent children
TO be summoned by telegraph to her bed
side. La grippe is the disease which has
exhausted the feeble constitution Of Mrs.
Jones, and her life now hangs as if by
thread Mrs. Jones is the mother Of Mr..
u. L. Jones. formerly Of your city, and is
nearly seventy years OF age.
now Is THIS FOR 100 YEARsp
II will be very hard for the age OF any old
slave TO be authenticated for the reason
that but few Of their owners entered their
births of record. but there died in Rich
mond during Christmas week, think, an
old coiored woman whose aga can very ac-
curately be arrived at. if "hear-say" evil
dence he sdmitted-evidenco from several
unimpcschable witnesses | will give the
statements Of three persons, which are sub
stantially as follows. The old colored
woman whose death was published In the
Dispatch at the time and reputed to be
centenarian, was slave of the Eldridgo
estate of Buckingham county. Mrs
Samuel Glover, Of Richmond. Mrs. Will
liam Nj. Cabell. wife of the distinguished
Buckingham lawyer, and Benjamin FL
bridge. Esq. of buckingham. are three
children of Mrs. Eldridgc, who If living
would be ninety-nine years OF age. During
her lifetime these three had frequently
heard their mother speak of the difference
in the age OF this old colored woman, who
was her nurse in infancy, and 1t was al
luded TO as being five years her Mrs. FL
dridge's) senior. Now, / think have given
the record of q centenarian living in Rich
mond one month ago, and this mode of
arriving at tho age OF the Oldest people IN
Virginia will, / think, be found the only
one.
