NEWSPAPER & ARCHIVE
JEMIMA ALLEN, of Brimfield, Mass., who recently celebrated her 107th birthday, was born at Sturbridge, in that State, on Sept. 3, 1774. Her husband died in 1849. When about 100 years old she came back to her daughter's house in Brimfield to spend her last days, and as she expressed it, to be buried by the side of her husband. She has several great-grandchildren married, and some of them have children. A good number of her descendants visited her on her 107th birthday, some grandchildren coming from Central New York. She is quite deaf, and stays in her bed most of the time, but her general health is fair.
