Source, Rutland Vt. Daily Herald--Mon. Apr. 6, 1914. CORINTH WOMAN IS 102. Surrounded by her four children, a number of her 21 grandchildren and 45 great- grandchildren, and a great-great-grandson, Mrs. Sarah Robie Wilson, affectionately known as " Aunt Sally ," and believed to be the oldest woman in Vermont, quietly observed her 102d birthday at Corinth Saturday. Time has laid a heavy hand on " Aunt Sally" ,and because of her feebleness, neighbors and old acquaintances who called during the day stayed but a moment to express their felicitations and to receive a faint acknowledgement from the venerable lady. For four years now Mrs. Wilson has declined slowly. Physically she is still remarkably strong and at times her former mental vigor asserts itself. In those intervals she recognizes members of the family and is able to converse with them for a moment or two.Because the light of reason shines in " Aunt Sally" eyes only occasionally, the observance was less pretentious than the birthday celebrations that the family used to hold when, in her 90s, Mrs. Wilson, possessing a grip on household affairs with as clear a mind as ever, was wont to promise she would live to round out a full century. Her prophecy has been fulfilled and more. She was born in Corinth, Vt.in 1812, her maiden name being Sarah Robie. She always lived with the exception of one year, in Corinth. Things were stirring themselves for another war with England in that spring in February a British agent who attempted to organize a movement for disunion in Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts, was exposed. Early in May Gov. Galusha was issuing a general order for 3000 men as the quota of Vermont in the nation's second war for independence. Indeed, affairs were hanging at a hazardous balance in the first years of Mrs. Wilson's life. During the war all Vermont tows were constantly exposed to incursions from the British provinces to the north, but three years of strife had given way to a year of readjustment, when the century-old subject of this sketch was sent to school. Her first knowledge of the three R's was gained in a little log schoolhouse that stood where the present store of C. T. Sargent is located.
