Twenty-Five Years in Old Warwick

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Twenty-Five Years in Old Warwick: An Address Delivered on Memorial Day, August 18, 1904, in Warwick, Mass Some four years ago I was hoping that my annual visit to Warwick might be renewed, but a doubtless good Providence was otherwise disposed. Beginning with early autumn, the remainder of the year, round to the summer, was passed in what the doctors made up their minds was a final fight for life; in which the weight of professional opinion was, as now and then happens, delivered on the wrong side. For while, I suppose, the majority of my non-professional friends were waiting for my exit, I, "being still of sound mind," reverted to the old days and, quite naturally, to the old Warwick habit of "toughing it out" till even a greater age than my own. I remembered that my good little mother, who never pulled the steelyards at 100 pounds, but went through a greater amount of hard work to the square yard than any of her sex I recall, stepped out at the age of 89 - by accident. Her mother, the "Aunt Beulah" of old Warwick, did better still; as the "accident" that carried her off was postponed till 98. Then, great grandmother Susannah held on till 96. My two grandfathers served this world bravely and well till the respective ages of 83 and 85; one of them, at his death, having served his country as postmaster for more than fifty years.
