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.
