1902 - Aged Triplet Sisters. They Were Born in Cayuga County, This State, and All Still Live.

From The Syracuse Herald.

At Ira, Cayuga County, June 24, 1844, triplets were born to Mr. and Mrs. Blake. They were all girls and were named Sarah, Mary, and Martha. They are all living, enjoying excellent health, and if they live until June 24 next they will be fifty-eight years old.

Of this long-lived trio, one, Miss Martha Blake, lives in Auburn with her niece, Mrs. William Smith, at 43 Capitol Street. Sarah Blake Showers, another of the triplets, lives at Bethel, Cayuga county, and the third of the trio, Mary Blake Conoyer, resides at Valley Springs, Minnehaha County, Dakota.

The grandparents of the Cayuga County triplets were both children of twins and each born in the same year. They lived to the ages of ninety-four and ninety-five years.

Slightly older triplets than the Blake sisters are the Windecker brothers and sister, born at Lowville, Lewis County, June 9, 1844.
