TWINS CELEBRATE NINETY YEARS

A very rare event is the ninetieth birthday today of Mrs. Mabel Reed of Bellevue and her twin sister, Miss Hannah Kinser, of Anoka, Minnesota. We doubt whether there is another pair of twins in this country who have attained this grand old age, and we claim the record for longevity for Mrs. Reed and Miss Kinsey.

They were born at Thompsontown, Pennsylvania, August 20, 1835 and came to Galena, Illinois in childhood, later moving to a farm north of Bellevue. Mrs. Reed has always made her home in this locality, her sister locating in Minnesota many years ago. -Bellevue Herald
