Longevity, Longmire, Margaret


LONGEVITY.

7. MR. URBAN, - Several correspondents have, in recent numbers of your magazine, noticed cases of this class; and I may with propriety add an instance within my own personal knowledge. The name of the individual I allude to, who is now in her 104th year, is Maragaret Longmire, a widow, in humble life, residing at Troutbeck, in the parish of Windermere. I have tested her case myself, and there cannot be a question that her age is as stated. Her Majesty the Queen, with her accustomed generosity and condescension, graciously remitted 3l. in Oct. last to the Rev. W. Sewell, to be applied by him to the poor aged woman's comforts. - I am, &c.,
JAMES NICHOLSON.
Thelwall Hall, Warrington,
January, 1867.
