The day of the month on which
her father was born has slipp ID
from Mrs. Aliens memory, but she
remembers that he died Jan. r.,
1852, that he was 88 years of age,
and therefore was born in 1864,
twelve years before the Declaration
of Independence. He was buried in
Bears Run cemetery. Five years
ago the Daughters of the American
Revolution erected suitable mark
er over his grave. Feb. %, 1881,
Mrs. Allen laid a wreath on her
fathers grave. She was accompa-

A Revolutionary Soldiers Child At
New Lexington

New Lexington
Mrs. Maria Storts Allen, daughter
of John Jacob Storts who served five
years in the Revolutionary army
under General George Washington
is the only living child Of Revo-
lutionary soldier, in the state OF
Ohio. She resides at New Lexing-
Bi-Centennial and Thanksgiving
celebration, at the New Lexington
high school auditorium, Sunday af-
ternoon. The Perry County Sem
tinel published an interview with
this remarkable woman, in its re-
cent issue, as follows:
Washington was Pas general.
Pa told us children that when we
saw his picture to think Of good
man."
With these words Mrs. Maria
Storts Allen, daughter of John ia
cob Storts, who fought under and
with George Washington, paid
tribute to his memory.
1t was before an open fire in a
cozy and comfortable room on
Brown street. where Mrs. Allen re-
sides with her daughters, Mrs. r.
E. Stowe and Miss Eta, that Mrs.
Allen told her story which covers a
period from the birth Of the nation
to the present day.
Time and life has written some-
thing fine in sweet old face. The
silver threads were brushed back
and parted in the center. A hign
forehead, sharp nose, keen eye, a
smile on the lips breaking now and
then into chuckle and even a
merry laugh tells a story of 10
years never put in words.
Mrs. Allen was brought into the
room by her daughter. She &C
knowledged the introduction with a
simple grace-the simple grace of
long ago that clings about her as a
halo
