P. Spafford. Nor is it most .remarkable the fact that she lives by herself, but she has no less than 35 patchwork quilts, each one beautifully and fully worked by her own hands. What is really Unusual is that she able to do this work as well as looking after her home at the age of 90. She celebrated her 90th birthday Sunday, Dec. 4th, 1938, and had intended1 to spend the day very quietly until her two daughters, Mrs. W. H. Porter of Warkworth and Mrs. Fired Simmons of Brighton and their children and grandchildren arrived to take her completely by surprise bringing her flowers, gifts and coi gratulations. Mrs. Spafford was born near Tweed in Hungerford Township and was an only child of Mr. and iMrs. Ellas Benedict, and just to prove there may be something in heredity she claims that her mother lived to be over a hundred and both parents were born in Upper Canada. Her father was one of the pioneer farmers and she herself walked three miles every day to attend school at Bogart-ville. Of 'Methodist stock she has never danced' or played cards ii illfe and she can recall the days when as a girt she used to ride to Church on a lumlber waggon, a distance of three miles. Married at her father's home at the age of eighteen she and her husband settled on a 100 acre farm which tefay worked rather mlore successfully than most farmers are able to do today for when he was 40 years of age they were aible to retire. "It may be because people don't work so hard as we did but at any rate the old farm doesn't seem to produce as much today as it used to," she said. Mr. Spafford died ten years ago at the age of 70 and since thai time she has lived on the farm, by herself usually spending a portion of the winter with her daughters. Asked how the winters of to-day compare with those she remembered as a .girt, Mrs. Spafford .declared there was no comparison. We always had good sleighing beginning the latter part of November right through until May with a steady cold except for the annual January thaw, and of course people dressed a good deal warmer in those days. We need to have home made flannel and mother did the spinning in fact I have lots of sheets for which I spun the yearn myself. We would wash the sheep, then send the wool to be carded at the mill at Tweed. Do you think there" might be any her reason for your living to such an old age and enjoying such good health? it was ventured. "Well if you follow the old recipe "early to ind early to rise" and you won't _iry far astray. We used to go to bed early, not stay up half the night Kd iallike most folks do to-day." And as a lnu?^;*Kurtilier proof of the fine health and strength of this remarkable lady a neighbour volunteered the information that she had seen her only the day before on a step ladder hanging the storm door.
