HUMOR: Old Age Can Kill You ----------------------------------- Thanks to: Marilyn <[email protected]> who writes: I've been transcribing county death schedules from New Brunswick, and discovered that: Sarah died in 1891, she was a 67-year-old housekeeper, and cause of death was "worn out," length of illness, 2 months. Then there's Margaret, she died in 1888, she was 92 years old, cause of death "old age," length of illness, "1 week" Phoebe, on the other hand, was only 88 when she died in 1888. She too, died of "old age," but she had it "several years." William died in 1888, at 84, of "old age," but he had it "not long." Mrs. Seeley, age 91, died in 1888 of old age, she only had it "one day." ************** Previously published in RootsWeb Review: Vol. 5, No. 31, 31 July 2002 ************** ********************************************************************** \\\|/// \\ ~ ~ // ( @ @ ) ----oOOo-(_)-oOOo----McGillekehr ********************************************************************** *****Your kygenweb homepages are***** CALDWELL http://home.hiwaay.net/~woliver/caldwell.html LYON http://home.hiwaay.net/~woliver/lyon.html TRIGG http://www.kyseeker.com/trigg/index.html **********************************************************************
