Michigan in 1886.

ADRIAN. Mich. April Ito have
reached the century mark is in itself
unusual, but to have attained the age
OF TOO years, and at the same time re-
tain health and activity. is truly re-
markable.

feet health, and as to mentality she
is right up 10 the mark Bright and
cheerful Mrs. Morey can carry on a
conversation with the best of them
and enjoys nothing better than visits
! from her friends
! When The Times correspondent
called upon Mrs Morey she insisted
on coming down stairs, rather than
having the visitor shown up TO her
room. She was assisted by her daugh-
ter Mrs. Frances Cutter, with whom
she makes her home. but explained
that she could get up and down stairs
alone.
Mrs Morey and her daughter live
in a pretty little home In South Park

come back 10 live SO near the place
where | first had a homo You see
there was an old double log house over
there and We stayed there until we
could get a place OF our own.
We'll. I've always worked hard"
said Mrs Morey when asked TO what
she attributed her good old age you
know. We girls had to then. II was
different than it Is now, and we all
had our share OF work TO do
Mrs Morey's routine is not set She
arises each day about ,: so or o'clock
comes down stairs TO every meal. and
retres about s or $50 when she does
not have visitors. But on many even
ings some OF her friends call and on
special occasions such as band con
certs I'm the park. she stays up until
she is tired and then seeks repose.
One of the centenarian's hobbies Is
keeping posted on all that Is going on,
and especially In the matter OF styles
She is well UP on all the new fads
and can talk about them understand
ingly When il is pleasant she is Of
ten taken cut by her grandson VIII
Cutter. and insists on seeing the i'm
provemcnts Of the city which she says
interest her on account ofg her early
acquaintance with the town.
Each birthday Mrs Morey has is cell
ebrated by a family dinner party and
by the gathering of a company Of
friends This year however. Mrs
Morey's friends are planning a real
celebration and the anniversary of
her birth will be Joyous one. And
Mrs Morey IS looking forward TO 1t
with as much pleasure as anyone.
