Mrs. Hartshorne, who was born in Shropshire, England, came to this country in 1902 and for thirty years has lived in Hubbard Woods. She reared a famly of ten children, five sons and five daughters, six of whom are still living. Her husband died 45 years ago.
Mrs. Hartshorne continues to enjoy good health and up to a very few years ago, regularly walked to the Hubbard Woods business district to do her shopping.
Her hearing is somewhat impaired, but her vision is good, and, without the aid of glasses, reads her Bible, daily. She is jovial and happy, and few, if any of the family are looking forward to the coming birthday anniversary with greater interest than the venerable celebrant, herself.
