Her 104th Birthday

To reach a hundred years is remarkable
and worthy of note, but what shall we say
when one reaches 104 years Such is the
case with Mrs. Electa Kennedy of Heads
burgh, Calf, who reached that remark
able period Jan. 22d last. Mrs, Kennedy
is sister of the late Mrs. Harriet Dutton
who it will be remembered reached the
great age of 81. Mrs. Kennedy is an aunt
of W. D. Isham and F. B. Noble of this
town. She was born in Derby, VT, fail
ing health induced her to go to Mexico
with her husband. where they resided
until the Mexican war broke out. They
went to California during the gold rush
of 40, where she has since lived. Her
husband died several years ago. "Grand-
MAJ Kennedy, as she is called lives with
her son George, who is 70 years old and
attributes her longevity to nothing in
particular, except that she has lived the
"'simple life." She takes great interest
in politics and as the women in that state
vote she has several times cast a ballot.
The Santa Rosa Republican of Jan. goth
last gives the following account of her
l05th birthday reception
Mrs. Electa Kennedy of Healdsburg,
familiarly known as "Grandma," cele-
DRAFTED her 104th birthday THURSDAY, and
was surrounded by her relatives and
friends on this important occasion. Dur
ing the afternoon reception was held
when hundreds of her friends called to
in 20 oil do ha
messages from friends, all wishing her
many happy returns of the day and she
says she expects to vote for president in
1917.
Although she has reached this advanced
age she is still able to be about and at
tends to her daily duties in her home and
enjoys the best of health. She chatted
with her friends and took pride in the
preparations that were made for the all
important event.
A large birthday cake with 4O4 candles
decorated the table, where refreshments
were served aud each guest was given a
piece of the cake which was made from
one of "Grandma's" recipes.
AS the weather grows bright and warm
she enjoys her usual auto ride on her
birthday. She delights in these outings
and they cannot drive too fast to please
her.
She is the oldest fraternal woman in the
world, member of the Sotoyome chap
ter, Order of the Eastern Star, and is in
terested in the teachings of this order. |
They are proud of their aged member. |
and she is the center of attraction when |
she attends.
Friends from miles around were pres |
ent at the reception, and among them |
many from Santa Rosa.
DR.. j. w. Swisher had the honor of |
taking Grandma" riding, and sitting in !
the front seat, steered the machine ,
around the plaza, which caused no little |
attention. Merchants and beople on the
streets went out to the auto to greet her
and she held another reception there.

That Little White House on the
Hill

| The little white house on the hill
| Apart from the village 'ershadowed
| by trees,
| By the apple, the peach and the peas,
| Where little birds mingle their songs
with the breeze
| And early flowers perfume the air;
Yet tits not these charms tho so lovely
to view
Which will bind me with soul stirring
thrill
Ali no there's link far more tender
and true
In that 'little white house on the hill
Twas there first knew mothers fond
There joyed in fathers fond praise
Down that path through the vale full oft

With my playmates of earlier days
When wearied by innocent sports of the
day,
While the moonbeams played fair DER

Oh! calm were my slumbers as peaceful
In that "little white house on the hill"
Aw4y from that "little white house on
the hill''
Tho no kindred of mine doth dwell
there;
But know the kind welcome which still
Greets me, whenever L chance to be
there;
1t never seemed brighter or fairer than
now,
AS the summit of life has been reached,
but still
We remember the past the loved ones all
gone
From that little white mousse on the
Lill."
Oh! know not what path stern fate may
Ordain,
Where my steps in the future may
rove;

Far away from the scenes that love,
Yet distance may lengthen and fortune
forsooth
May glide DER my pathway but still
l meier can forget the sweet scenes of my
youth
