ALMOST A CENTENARIAN. - The death took place on Friday of a much-respected inhabitant, named Mrs. Elizabeth PARKHOUSE, a widow, who was aged 99 years 10 months. The deceased was an interesting old woman, and up to the last found her way about the parish without the aid of glasses. Of a wonderful constitution she possessed all her faculties until the end. It is said that the deceased had never seen the sea and had never travelled in a railway train.
