Thursday, Feb. 28, will be the one hundred and second birthday anniversary of Beebe's, indeed we may say Stanstead County's, grand old lady, Mrs. Emma (Tryon) Moir. It will be recalled that on the occasion of her one hundredth birthday anniversary, she was accorded an unusual demonstration of popular good will and esteem, receiving more than three hundred messages of congratulations and good wishes, including those of their Majesties, the King and Queen, The Governor General of Canada, Lieut. Governor of the Province of Quebec, Prime Minister King and Hon. Adelard Godbout, then Premier of Quebec; Senator C.B.Howard and a host of other more or less prominent people. Her multitude of admirers and friends are widely scattered over the continent.
This writer, having business in Beebe, recently called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Boulais, her son in law and daughter, with whom she has resided for many years, to inquire about her health. He found her looking and feeling well, seemingly not a day older than on her one hundredth birthday anniversary. She was, as usual, alert, witty, and humorous, her faculties apparently normal, except for slight deafness.

Monday, Feb. 28 was something of a gala day in at least one house in Beebe, the occasion being the 105th birthday anniversary of that grand and greatly loved old lady, Mrs. Emma Moir.
There was nothing formal about gathering scores of neighbors and friends, some of whom came from a considerable distance away to pay homage to this venerable lady. The wires, both telephone and telegraph, were kept hot with messages of felicitations from both church dignitaries and civilian celebrities, including His Majesty The King, His Excellancy Viscount Alexander, Governor-General of Canada, Rt. Hoon. W.L. MacKenzie King, Col. George Drew, Sebeator C.B. Howard, John T. Hackett, K.C., M.P., D. Gerin, M. L.A., and numerous others. Emma always received notice on her birthday, and entering her 104th years was no exception.4
