Not illustrated. 1857 Excerpt: ...arms and broke the bone, besides very much bruising her. About two years before this event she cut several new teeth, and her hair resumed a good deal of its original colour. Hunter, Margaret, widow, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, died 1753, aged 104. Her beverage was mostly water or milk; never touching spirits, and not having, to her recollection, drank malt liquor more than two or three times during her life. Hobbs, Mr., a gardener, of Bristol, died 1753, aged 107. Hughes, Rev. Richard, of Moore, in Ireland, died 1756, aged 107. Harrison, Elizabeth, widow, of Bale, Norfolk, died 1758, aged 104.
