SMYRNA WOMAN AGED LOT

Mrs. EIizebeth Wonderly Celebrated
Her Birthday In Philadelphia, Yesterday
Mrs. Elizabeth Wonderly, native
of Smyrna, and an inmate of the
Methodist Episcopal Home of Phila-
delphia, was 1O7 years old yesterday,
May 18th. Despite her extreme old
age she is active. She arranges her
own room and spends much time in
sewing and reading. Her grand
father lived TO be los years old and
her father died at the age of SO
years. Mrs. Wonderly distinctly re-
calls events of the war with Great
Britain in 1912. She has lived in
Philadelphia since 1860. Mrs. Wond-
erly's father Edward White Walker,
'o3t an arm fighting under Washing
ton. She was married in Philadel-
phia and her husband died in 1850.
Her only son died many years ago in
Boston. She was already advanced
in years when the sewing machine
was invented, and this lessening the
value of her needle, caused her to
seek the shelter of the Methodist
Home, nineteen years ago. To simple
living Mrs. Wonderly credits her long
life. She praises coffee. 1.-The use
of coffee" she said, twas always
helpful to me. l was always early
to bed and early to rise. In my youth
went to bed at O'Clock and was
always up at o'clock. - Treasured
above all her possessions is her old
family Bible. Faded and worn, il
has been in her keeping over eighty
years and was long in her father
possession before that. Mrs. Wond-
erly has many times read it through.
Most eagerly she turns to the mir
acles of the New Covenant. Mrs.
Wonderly says although she has founC
life good she would not want to live
it over again.
