lived to see six generations of that family,
counting from the Doctors mother. Com
putting from reliable data her span of life had
heightened out to at least 108 years. Aunt

an invalid for year or two before her death,
she was patient and accomplishing to de-
gree. Possessed of delightful and self-re-
specting manner, polite, courteous and respect
full to all, she furnished an example sorely
needed and too little needed by the present
generation of her race. She always mani
tested the livelest interest in all the members
and descendants of her old mistress family
and shortly before her death inquired with the
most affectionate interest after several of them.
Her mind was perfectly clear and she recog-
niZed every one uD to few hours before the
end, when she gradually sank into uncon-
seriousness and, without struggle passed into
the other life.
