A Hundred Years Old.
Last week the following paragraph appeared in our news columns:
Mrs. Sarah Husted celebrated her 100th birthday at her home in Mayville, Mich.
There was no thought that it had a local application, but it has. Uncle Phil Husted informs us that it refers to his step-mother and one who was a real mother to him from the time he was seven years old until he left home. She was the mother of eleven children, besides being a step-mother to five sons and daughters in the family when she married Uncle Phil’s father. Notwithstanding her old age she is quite bright and largely able to care for herself. Mr. H. has a photo of her at the age of 97.

Transcriber's Note: Find a Grave shows she died March 15, 1896.
