Mrs. Susanah Nelson Is Finally Carried or
by the Grip at That Age.

Mrs. susanah Nelson is Finally Carried on
by the Grip at That Age.
Grip has no mercy on young or old, but takes
them wherever it chooses and that all there il
about IT. Among its latest victims in this city
is a colored woman compared to whose
years the proverbial three score years and ten
are but tribe, for after she had got through
living that long she simply kept right OF living
until she had lived for more than a half CEN
fury longer.
In darkened room in a small brick house
703 L street southeast, within a block of the
navy yard gate, lie the remains Of Mrs.
susanah Nelson. who died Thursday at the very
ripe age of one hundred and twenty-eigh,
years. two months and nine days. Her
daughter told STAR reporter this morning
that there could be no doubt about the correct
ness of the old hdy's age, for away
back early in the century when some
of her children were already grown up she
used to tell them. and they have remembered il
ever since. that she was twelve wears old at the
time of the revolution and beside that '.shc
had three children in the year the stars fell"
She lad altogether sixteen children and OF
these the eldest girl had sixteen, of whom but
one is now living. Among the other broods
one Of SIN one of nine, three, nine, eight
two sets Of twins and one in Philadelphia, one
and two singles. There are seventeen great
grandchildren scattered around the country.
In all probability this does not account for
one-half the number OF old Mrs Nelson's de-
scendsnts. for the family tree has branched
out of all the knowledge Of any one member of
the family, and it would be no small under
taking 10 take the census of that tribe.
Mrs Nelson was born in fredericksburg, Va,
ami lived there slave until the first attack
upon fredericksburg during the war. when
she came to this city TO live. She worked in
Virginl, as a field hand. but long before the
war she got SO old that she had to
be taken from the fields and put to
spinning. The salubrious climate Of south
Washington proved to be just what she needed
and her health improved greatly. She enjoyed
remarkably good health up to last week, but
the grip and pneumonia finally proved too
much for her and she had to succumb
One Of her daughters, the ninth child, and
herself over eighty years Of age. told the re-
porter that she thought lone reason the old
lady hilled out SO well was because she was a
large part Indian, and you know Indians il
very long lived"
Mrs. Nelson's funeral will take place tomor-
row afternoon from Mt Jezreel Church, 6th
and L streets southeast.
