Remarkable is Mrs. Eliza SeebOIdt

The most remarkable old woman in
this country lives near West Point in
this county. She is Mrs. Eliza Seeboldt
and is ninety-three years of age. She
has recently dropped seven acres Of
corn in a field for her son, and did it
with as much ease as if she had been
twenty-three instead of ninety-three.
She only weighs eighty-fve pounds, but
when it comes to activity and energy
this old lady is right there all the time.
She walks two miles every day and
never complains of any fatigue. Her
daughter. Mrs. John Hinkle, lives a
mile from her home on a farm, near
West Point, and she makes daily trips
to see her and back to her home. If
anything was needed to tell the story
of her remarkable preservation her
hearing is perfect and she reads with
out the use of glasses. e town News.
