Passes Her 106 Birthday.
Still enjoying good health at the great age of 106 years, Mrs. Abigail Morrill passed another milestone, and has the distinction of being the oldest person in Newburyport, Mass.
Mrs. Morrill was born on a farm in West Newbury in 1809, and has lived in this vicinity all her life. She has for several years resided with her daughter, Mrs. Abby Morrill Oliver.
She is the mother of ten children, three of whom are now living; Mrs. Oliver, of this city, Louis Morrill, of West Newbury, and George Morrill, of Lynn, the two sons being survivors of the Civil War.
Her husband was the late Jacob Morrill, of this city, to whom she was married May 4, 1835. There are eleven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Except for being slightly hard of hearing, Mrs. Morrill has her faculties well preserved.
