    Mrs. Mollie Mason Jones Wright

    Mrs. Mollie Wright celebrated her 98th birthday on May 2, 1863, with members of the family present. Last year there was a big celebration with friends and neighbors from far and near wishing her well. This celebration was quiet because of her failing health. A year ago Aunt Molly, as practically everyone calls her, was in excellent health, able to do light housework, and attended church regularly. Now she is still mentally alert, still able to get around and still enjoys having company, but her steps are a wee bit feebler. Sometimes she does not feel quite like attending services and housework is a little bit beyond her capabilities. Her eyesight is failing and when told that her photograph was good, she said, "I wish I could see that."
