PEACHAM.
MANY Aged People.


We noticed in a recent issue OF the
CALIFORNIAN that Groton was proud, and
Justly so, OF its record Of aged people
and that the prevalent disease OF which
its people die is old age, also that more
people reach the age Of so and 30 IN
Groton than in any other community
within a large radius" Peacham is an
exception to this. Groton mentions II
between the age Of so and 80, one above
that mark. Peacham has IA over 80
whose ages are as follows: Theodore
Farrow, 90 years, and two months,
Mrs Emeline H. Bailey 81 years, Mrs.
Voda Crazy 90, Mrs. Mercy Hooker 81,
Miss Sarah A. Hand 81, Mrs. John
Northrop "a, Mrs. Harriet Hooker
almost 50, Rev. P. n. Granger 81, Mrs
Achsa Woodward 80, Lafayette Stro'
bridge 81, Mrs. Maria Whitehlll 90'
George Martin so, William Dana So
Hiram Aiken 80.
Taking with these figures the fact that
not long ago, two or three years,
woman lived to be 103 years and tour
months, who had lived nearly, or quite
the whole OF her life in Peacham,it would
seem that the latter place is second to
none in its record of longevity. There
is also long list OF those between ~
and 80, many of them near the so line.
Two of the latter have just passed away
Mrs. Williams 76, Mrs. Currler II.
