DEFIES OLD AGE

Oswego Man is as Lively at 82 as He Was at 25.

Maurice Walsh, Oswego, NY
Maurice Walsh who is a well-known resident of Oswego, N.Y., is one man who defies the flight of time.  He believes that he will live to see the century mark and sees no reason why everyone should not reach a green old age.  He recently celebrated the 82d anniversary of his birth, but is lively and as active to-day as when he was 25.
     Longevity should come to every man, Mr. Walsh belives, if he would only observe the rules that nature suggests.  Since early youth Mr. Waslsh has been a lover of the open air and for 60 years nearby residents of Oswego have watched him climb the Orphan Asylum hill daily, to and from work.  During his long life Mr. Walsh has been temperate in all things.  He takes a cigar daily, and he wants a good one; takes in the "movies" when he feels like it, but is daily engaged in the occupation that he has followed since his early youth--a decorator.  As a grainer of fancy woods Mr. Walsh has few equals in the state.
     He was born in Ireland but when a young lad went to Troy to live and there was apprenticed to a decorator, who had everything but artistic instinct.  Mr. Walsh soon after went to Oswego, taking with him the first union card ever seen in the town, he having been a member of one of the first trade guilds organized outside of New York city.  Mr. Walsh's health is excellent and he says that he expects to reach the century mark without any serious trouble.

MARRIED THREE YEARS AGO

PRETTY ROMANCE IN WHICH PROMINENT OSWEGONIANS FIGURE

OSWEGO, Sept. 26.___A romance which terminated in a secret marriage came to light a few days since when there was filed in the office of the town clerk of Palermo the record of the marriage of Miss Lena KEHOE, the daughter of William KEHOE, a meat dealer of Oswego, and Walter M. JERMYN, a son of the late John JERMYN, the millionaire coal operator who died in Scranton several months ago.

 The records show that the ceremony was performed June 2, 1899, by Rev. George Ward, at the hamlet of Vermillion.  Mr. Ward is of the Methodist faith.  The young couple are both well known in this city and have many friends.  Mr. JERMYN, who owns the Oswego Boiler Works, is one of the five heirs to the $10,000,000 estate, consisting of coal mines, railroad stock, real estate and securities, which was left by his father.  The famous Jermyn Hotel of Scranton is a part of the estate.  For some time past there has been rumors that Mr. Jermyn and Miss Kehoe were married.  About three years ago Mr. Jermyn took up his quarters at the residence of the Kehoe family, but no formal announcements of the marriage was ever made.

 It was a $2,000,000 secret which the young couple have kept for three years.  Young JERMYN fell madly in love with Miss KEHOE when he first came to Oswego four years ago and established large boiler works.  She was one of the sweetest girls in town, the daughter of a modest meat dealer, and JERMYN became a frequent caller at her home.  They were often observed driving in the gorgeous turn-outs which JERMYN was able to command.  Then JERMYN, Sr., head of a family of great wealth and social prominence, learned how matters were going.  He said Walter must give up his suit or disinheritance would be his lot.  After that the carriage drives ceased and apparently young JERMYN’S desire for millions outweighed his love for beautiful Miss KEHOE.  The public, however, was mistaken, for the young people did meet and were married and now JERMYN has his millions and his lovely bride too.
