We have in Hayes [Township] an old Indian woman 131 years old. Just think of it, she was 11 years old when the Battle of Bunker Hill was fought. She is great grandmother of Mrs. Peter Wasaquan, and is being cared for at Peter's residence by the county. She has been able to be [up and] around until within a few weeks past when she became helpless.
