Notes for Hannah WILSON
SURPRISED ON 90TH BIRTHDAY
Mrs. Hannah W. Paxson was delightfully surprised at her home near Black Horse, on Thursday evening, when seventy-six relatives and friends called to spend a happy evening, the affair was arranged by her daughter, Mrs. Harvey D. Schnader, of the same home.
Mrs. Paxson had expected some guests for her two only surviving sisters-in-law, Mrs. Mary A. Paxson, of Parkesburg, and Mrs. Mary H. Wilson, of Doe Run, were supper guests. She was completely surprised, however, when all the others came too. The folks brought her many
pretty gifts, and helped to enjoy the big birthday cake with its ninety pink candles, the other refreshments, the cards and social intercourse.
Mrs. Paxson was a daughter of the late Joshua and Hannah Wilson, of East Fallowfield, and is the last of a once large family. Her husband, the late William L. Paxson, died three years ago, when past ninety years of age, all of their half century of their married life having been spent upon the farm which is still her home. Mrs. Paxson retains her excellent eyesight and hearing, helps with housework, does the family ironing, sews, and her only physical ailment is a stiffened knee caused
by several falls, but even this did not deter her from baking the bread for the family and five pies the day after the party.
