Chester J. Bresee of Afton, N.Y., joined the ranks of nonagenarians last Thursday March 27th when he observed his 90th birthday. His daughter, Mrs. Daniel Grant and husband, with whom he makes his home, held Open House during the afternoon and evening for over 100 friends who called to congratulate him on this auspicious occasion. Mr. Bresee has lived in Afton for many years, coming to Afton with Mrs. Bresee from Cooperstown. Mrs. Bresee died several years ago. Though he has reached the age of 90 years, he retains a remarkable strength of body and mind and his genial manner makes him beloved by young and old. He is a loyal and devoted member of the Afton Methodist Church where he attends services quite regularly. His keen mind keeps him abreast of the times, and vitally interested in local and national affairs of government. The many expressions of flowers, cards, gifts, telegrams etc., he received that day, bespoke of the love of his many friends. [MHD notation: 1947]
