A LONG LIFE
Death of an Aged West Virginia Lady
There recently died at her home near Sistersville, Tyler county, a lady who has lived under the administration of every President since Washington. This was Mrs. Sarah McCoy. The Sistersville Democrat says of her:
She was born in Brooke county, W. Va., in 1793; she came to this place with her father's family of twenty-two children in 1806. She was the mother of eight children, six of whom are dead. She has been a widow since 1835. As a child she gathered wild flowers where the streets of the town now are. She attended school in the old house, the very site of which is gone--engulfed by the river. She saw the keel boats float down the river, then a narrow and deep stream. She has seen the flat boat superseded by the steamer, a magnificent floating palace. Again, she saw the steamer partially fall into disuse by the railroad. She has seen the log cabin with its puncheon floors replaced by elegant houses with carpeted floors and fine furniture. The linsey dress has given place to silks and satins, and the handkerchief tied over the head is replaced by the artistic hat or bonnet. She has lived under every President of the United States from George Washington to Grover Cleveland.
Sistersville, she saw planted in the wilderness when she was a child, and hunted "ground berries" among the corn, where now stand substantial houses and handsome stores.
