News Item

There is an old woman by the name of [Eve] Van Schock residing in the town of Verona [Oneida Co. NY] about half a mile from New London, who is now between one hundred and one hundred and one years of age.  She came to Oneida county from Albany and located but a little way from where she now resides, sometime before the commencement of the Erie Canal, in 1817, and has resided in that town ever since.  She is now quite hale and hearty for one of her years and can endure considerable fatigue.  About a year ago, she went to Rome [Oneida Co. NY] in a double lumber wagon and went about the streets on foot looking for a pair of spectacles that would suit her eyes, which had become somewhat impaired.  Her hearing and mental faculties are yet in pretty good condition.  Her mode of life has been a laborious one, taking a great deal of active exercise out of, as well as indoors.
