REMARKABLE LONGEVITY.
Negro Woman in Chicago Lives 70 Be
Almost a Century and
Quarter Old.

Chicago.-At the extraordinary age
of 1913 years. Mrs. Philo Rogers. a ne
gro woman. died the other day at her
home. 6223 Ada street. In this city.
Mrs. Rogers was born In Missouri
and reared a large family long before
the nrst mutterings Of the antislavery
sentiment agitated New England.
She was a grandmother whea the Mis-
souri, compromise was an issue OF the
hour and had reached her three score
years and ten when the emancipation
proclamation liberated her from band
age.
Little OF her early history Is known,
as all whom she had known In her or
binary lifetime long ago have been
forgotten. She came TO Chicago some
years ago and was In good health I'M
al a short time ago. Then the weak
nesses OF her advanced age took EN-
feet and she failed steadily until her
death.
