Harborville Lady Celebrates 101st Birthday

Mrs. Rachael Morris, of Harborville, celebrated her 101st birthday on March 15th, on which occasion all of her children were present, with the exception of Capt. I. B. Morris, who with his wife is spending the winter at Norfolk, VA. Beginning the second year of the second century of her life on this earthly footstool, Mrs. Morris is still hale and hearty and amply able to take care of herself. Throughout the day, Grandma Morris (by which term she is generally known) received the congratulations of her neighbors and friends from the surrounding district, who wished her very many happy returns of the day.

Among the members of her family who were present were Lockhart Morris and his wife, of Rockland, Maine, who came to celebrate the birthday of their aged mother at the old home.
