Over A Century Of Years Of Age

Mrs. Maria Hixon Has Celebrated Her 103rd Birthday

Drove From Clinton to Tecumseh to Celebrate the Day

Mrs. Maria Hixson, of Clinton, Mich., was born June 26, 1800, at Armenia, N. Y. She was married to Daniel Hixson in 1826 and moved to Tecumseh, Mich. She is the only living charter member of the ten who joined the Tecumseh Presbyterian church when it was organized, April 6, 1828, and was present at its seventy-fifth anniversary. Although she is no longer able to see, she can hear quite well, and her memory, for a person 103 years old, is simply wonderful. She goes around the house by the aid of a chair. She drove to Tecumseh to celebrate her birthday last Friday.
