Mrs. Ann CAMPBELL CLOSE Aged 90 Years, Delights in Walking Walking--long walks and short walks, winter and summer--just plain waling as a means of increasing long life ans as the only health tonic that is effective, made it possible for Mrs. Ann (CAMPBELL) CLOSE, she declares to celebrate her ninetieth birthday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. L. M. DEAHL, in McDonald, several days ago. Mrs. CLOSE walks everywhere, she asserted Wednesday. She walks to church, and to visit friends. When she was living on a farm in Beaver county several years ago, she says, it was her custom to walk many miles over the hills to town. Last July Mrs. CLOSE fell and injured her ankle. This disabled her to some extent, but still she asserts she will persist in walking. On of her favorite diversions, apart from long strolls, when she was on the farm, was picking berries, she says. Those who helped her to celebrate her birthday told of berry-picking contests in which she participated, and in which she invariably garnered as much as two or three of the other contestants. Mrs. CLOSE was born in County Down Ireland, December 13, 1824. She came to America in 1849 with her father, three brothers and two sisters. Four generations of the family now live in Beaver and Washington counties. They are Mrs. CLOSE, Robert CLOSE, the oldest son; Mrs. Lulu CLOSE WHITE, his daughter, and James WHITE, Mrs. WHITE's son.
