UNUSUAL LONGEVITY.

The death of Mr. Amos Silver. form
ery Of Hartford, ut his home in Adrian.
Michigan, some ten days ago, at the
unusual age Of over nlnety-eight years.
recalls the remarkable longevity Of this
wel.known family who were reared in
the second district in the vicinity Of
Lapidum.
There were ak members, three broth
ers and three sisters. The only surviv-
ing member is Mr. Sylvester Silver, of
Chenille, who WIS ten years younger
than Amos, and il therefore eighty
nine, while the other brother, the father
of Messrs. David and Harry Silver,
died in 1889, few days before his
seventeen birthday.
The three sisters were Mrs. Samuel
pever, who lived seventy-two years,
Mrs. Robert Osborn, who died at the
age of eighty, and Mrs. Benz. Noble.
who died several years ago, aged ninety.
These people lived n pastoral life, gave
their best energy to making two blades
of grass grow where one had grown be-
fore, and reaped an abundant harvest
of years we'll spent.
