Uncle Levi Hollingsworth, living in the western suburbs of Milo gave us the following item, it gives us pleasure to write and we doubt if it be duplicated in Warren county. Sixty-five years ago this month he married his present wife, to this union seven children, the oldest sixty-three and the youngest, forty-two, were born. Death has never crossed the threshold of his family. He moved with his family to Otter township, where they now reside, fifty-five years ago. Through industry and thrift he presented to each one of his children, when they were married, a large farm each and he now means to keep himself until the end of his life. He holds tax receipts for over $5000. He and his wife were converted in 1858 and are living earnest consecrated lives, ready at a moment for the call. “Well done, good and faithful servants, enter though into the joys of our Lord.”
