SCIO FOR LONGEVITY
Uncle Abner Huntly
now resides here with his son Henry Huntly, formerly of Cuba. He
was born at Lyme, New London Co., Conn. In the year 1767 Aug 4th.
His children are all dead except Henry. Lyman Gallutia was born at Albany, NY
1779 and his wife was born in 1780, both are now living.
Rhonda Sprague was
born at Canano, Columbia Co., NY 1779, has been a widow over 40 years. John
Simons Esq., was born in Orange county in 1790, is a smart as
people usually are at 40 or 50. Martin Emerson born at Petersburg, Rens. Co. in
1793. Naleoth B. Welch born in 1794, we believe in Madison County N.Y.
Uncle Abner Huntly
voted for Washington, and has voted for every President since.
May he be spared to vote again in Nov 1876?
NOTE: This little article
appeared shortly AFTER the New
York State census of 1875 and prior to the 1876 elections. I would surmise that
the last sentence is a political statement against the proposed candidates, and
not a death wish for Abner Huntley.
