HALE AT A HUNDRED
“NEVER HAD A DOCTOR.”
Miss Eliza Saxby, of Hastings, England, who celebrated her 100th birthday a few weeks ago, proudly boasts that she has never had a doctor in her life. Her age is verified by an entry of her baptism dated August 31, 1825, in the register of the little church of Wartling Hill, Sussex.
Miss Saxby walked to church, a quarter of a mile from her home, on the Sunday prior to her birthday, and she declared: “I’m going next Sunday,” She rends daily to an invalid cousin, who is blind, and has a passionate desire to bo among the gaiety and brightness of the Hastings Promenade.
