MASS. WOMAN DIES AT THE AGE OF 109 WOLLASTON, Mass., April 3 - Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lohnes died last night at the age of 109. She was born in New Germany, Nova Scotia, of old Plymouth Pilgrim stock. She was married to Elkanah Lohnes at 17 in 1857 and lived in Nova Scotia until his death in 1904. Her health was good until four years ago when she suffered a shock. She had said she lived a long life because: "I've always worked hard and I don't smoke, drink, or go to dances." Only two of her eight children are still living. She also leaves 17 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren. NB: I have her maiden name as Feindel. ___________________________________________ nsroots mailing list nsroots@ednet.ns.ca http://mailman.ednet.ns.ca/cgi-bin/listinfo/nsroots
