New Enoiand's Oldest Woman.
boston Haraldl

Our correspondent q few days ago
had an interview with Mrs. Honora
Mccarthy, the Oldest woman In Ben
nington county and probably the old
est person in the New England states.
Mrs. Mccarthy was born In the coun-
ty OF Kerry, Ireland. February 20
1890. She was one of fourteen chill
dren and is the last one living. She
was married eighty-fve years ago, and
a son. nearly 80 years Of age, re
sides in Shaftbury, with whom she
has lived since coming to this coun-
try. nearly fifty years ago. OF other
descendants are grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. several Of them
residing in this village.
There can be no doubt OF the age
of the old lady. Copies from the re-
gister from the church in her parish
show when she was baptized; she
distinctly remembers the rebellion of
Ireland in 1898 and other historical
facts dating back to that time.
Physically, the old lady is we'll pre-
served. being as spry and active as
many women at 70. She passes much
OF her time walking out Of doors. She
does considerable work around the
house, helping her granddaughter,
who has charge of the house. The
old lady is SO deaf that 1t is impossf-
BILE to have any conversation with her.
She has not had a tooth in her head
for thirty years, neither has she TAX
en- a piece of meat into her mouth for
that many years. She sees pretty
well, and is apparently much interest
ed in all hat is going on about her.
Her husband died sixty years ago
she soon afterward came to this coun-
try to make her home with her son in
Shaftbury.
She has lived in three centuries,
and bids fair to live several years
more. She appears to be contented,
but often says to her granddaughter
that she cannot see what she is al
lowed to live SO long for.
