ATTEMPTED TO ROB
 UNCAsVILLE PoSToFFIcE.
Shutters Being Fried of at UncasviIIe When Men Were Frightened of.

Another attempt to break into the postoffice at UncasvilIe took place early Thursday morning, but the thieves were scared off in time to prevent any loss. About o'clock in the morning Edward Glassbrenner, who owns the livery stable adjoining the postoffice, was awakened by noise. Opening the window of his bedroom, which com mands a clear view of the front of the office, he saw two men in the act of prying off the shutters on the outside windows. The noise made by Mr. Glassbrenner was evidently heard by the burglars, as they dropped their work and ran off around the corner towards the bridge and were not seen again.
 An examination showed that crow bar or piece of iron had been used and that the heavy shutters had been split in two. Periodic attempts are made to enter this office and Postmaster Mer- ritt E. Tooker invariably takes the precaution to remove all of value when closing for the night.

 The speakers remarks brought City Missionary Northrop to his feet to say that he should be glad of an oppor- tunity of talk with the men of the city and the selectmen in meeting on the subject of outdoor relief. so that he could learn just what. the men of Norwich wanted done This idea was commended by Gen. William A. Aiken and Rev. P. C. Wright. It was voted to make B. F. Bishop. Rev. Mir. Nor- throp and Rev. MT. Wright the com mittee to arrange for meeting as in- dicated. Dr. Capen was thanked for his address by rising vote.

DEATH OF MISS GRAHAM AGED IO6
Passed Away the Shslterins Arms sunday-End of a
 Long Life of Hard Work as Cook and Servant.

On Sunday Miss Mary Graham pass ed away at the Sheltering Arms at the unusual age of 106, she being without doubt the oldest person in the state. For the past twelve years she has made her home at the Sheltering Arms. AL most since a babe in arms had she been thrown upon her our resources. and her long life has been one of hard work and hustle. That she came, of sound stock and believed that. hard work is good for the health is demon strated in her long life. In spite of her advanced age she retained her faculties to a marked degree.
 Miss Graham was born in the north of Ireland, of Protestant percentage. Her mother died when she was a babe 12 weeks old and soon after her father enlisted in the army.
 Upon the death of her father which occurred during his term of enlistment and during the engagement of some
Norwich bulletin., 1909-12-20

battle, she was taken to live with her fathers father. Her fathers name was Stewart Graham and his fathers name was William Graham. She made her home with her grandfather until he came to this country in 1S41, going first to Buffalo with her grandfather. She was then IS years old. No sooner had she landed in Buffalo than she entered the family of the mayor of the city as cook. This was the year when William Henry Harrison died. She remembered the time of her coming tp this country by the fact of witnessing the mayors car riage driven in a mock procession in honor of some occasion. She resided in Buffalo and Albany for ten years, finally coming to Norwich.
 Miss Graham located in some of the wealthiest families of this town and served as cook and servant. She was a woman of plenty of energy and zeal and retained good positions by her industry, faithfulness and satisfactory work. With increasing years she was taken care of by friends. For several years she was cook in the American
Norwich bulletin., 1909-12-20

house, a Shetucket street hostelry, which was more than half century ago. In fact long before the erection of the,Wauregan house she was known by her ability as a cook.
 Forty-nine years ago Miss Graham. after working hard all the years Of her life, had delusions that men were searching for her and conspiring to do away with her On this account she was united for further work and was at that time taken in charge by the town authorities and given a position as cook in the almshouse. where she could be treated for her ailment. At the time she entered the almshouse its present keeper, Marvin l.. Bailey whose father was superintendent Of the almshouse before him. was six years old. MT. Bailey remembers well the entrance of Miss Graham. After she had been an inmate a short time there was fire in the institution. and through her efforts a small boys life was saved. She caught up the lad as she was making her way out of a win dow and held him in her arms until assistance came to them. All this dur ing the spreading of the flames. When the institution was rebuilt Miss Grnh:tn icade the boy. then about three years old her personal charge. and reared him until he reached the age of nine years. when fatal disease seized him and he passed away. This was another great shock to her.
 After 40 years of usefulness for the town she suffered fall from d chair in which she was. sitting and sus- tained a fractured hip. This necessi- tated her removal to the Backus hos pital. where she was cared for by tender hands.
 While convalescing the United Workers met Miss Graham. and her kindly disposition and pathetic cir cumstances interested them and sub sequently she was placed in the Shel- tering Arms to be cared for till she fully recovered. She entered the Shel- tering Arms in June. S97. and has long been the pet of the institution.
 \ When asked as to the cause of her advanced age she always replied it was owing to plenty of hard work, going to bed earfy and taking great care as to what she ate. Long life was not | hereditary in her family she said.
 She used to eat at her age three good meals a day. and in her pleas ant surroundings maintained a. lively interest in what went on about her. Her diet was restricted but she ate a fair quantity. She followed out this routine each day and every day of her life seemed only. to sweeten her disposition.
 It was her custom to rise at about o'clock in the morning. and at ! she had her breakfast, which consisted of meat and potatoes. hard boiled egg. bread and butter. She then had about three chapters of the New Testament read to her by her nurse and subse- quently took nap of about an hour. At noon she had a substantial dinner consisting of meat, potatoes. etc, and dessert. and this was followed by a nap. At o'clock, supper of toast and tea. and she went to bed at six. She weighed about 140 pounds and stood five feet high. She could read l considerable, even in her last years.
