Celebrates Her 103d Birthday
Mrs. Mary Monroe Reaches Advanced Age "Fit as Fiddle"
Mrs. Mary Monroe, of 10 Jay street, where she lives with her son, S.E. Monroe, happily observed her 103d birthday anniversary yesterday. "Fit as a Fiddle" was the response of Mr. Monroe, when a Binghamton [Broome Co., NY] Press reporter asked him about him mother's health. Mrs. Monroe was up at 6 o'clock this morning, and was busy all the morning, welcoming relatives who arrived for the family birthday served at the Monroe residence at noon. She cut the hugh birthday cake with its 103 lighted candles, and provided much of the life of the merry occasion. Four generations of Monroes attended the dinner, and the presence of Miss Badger of Conklin, a former neighbor of Mrs. Monroe, who came to the city for the dinner, gave much pleasure to the aged hostess. This afternoon Mrs. Monroe enjoyed a drive about the city. [MHD notation: 1912]
