swimming in the village mill pond a

with its accompanying ailments, made
that impossible, but he got a good
bath in the swiftly running water, and
avowed that it made him feel dozen
years younger.
On March 4, 1865, he enjoyed swim

in the water since. He remembers the
day perfectly, and describes it as being
unusually warm, people wearing straw
hats and no coats. Mr. Shaver says he
