Celebration of Levi Streeter's 05th An
nIversary.

The annual reunion and birthday party
in honor of Levi Streeter, Hinsdale 5 oldest
citizen, was held Saturday afternoon and
evening at the residence of Isaiah c.
Streeter in North Hinsdale. There was a
large assembly of relatives and friends,
supper was served, there were congratu-
latory speeches, and none enjoyed the oc-
casion more than did TIE venerable Mr.
Streeter, whose 9jth birthday was on Mon
day, but Saturday seemed more fitting
time for the gathering. Levi Streeter was
born in North Hinsdae His father was
Isaiah Streeter. and his mother was Polly
Proctor, an English girl who went to Hins-
dale with sister early in the century.
The family lived for many years on the
place afterwards owned by 9 d. Streeter.
The father died when Levi Streeter was ii
years old, and left, besides a widow, five
sons and one daughter in poverty. Levi,
the eldest, was equal to the emergency
ne assumed the care of the place and kept
the family from want till they could care
for themselves. He has lived on the place,
now owned by a son, for more than half a
century. Aside from extreme deafness,
there is perhaps no record of man OF 30
who is so well preserved as Mr.. Streeter.
He has worked in the hay field the present
season, he chops wood, can do almost any
kind of farm work, and for recreation is
an ardent bee hunter He has located sew
eral swarms of wild bees the present sea
