Mrs.B., born in 1630 (five years after the accession of Charles I), died March 13, 1732.

She was tended in her last illness by her great-granddaughter, Miss Jane C., born 1718, died 1807, and Miss Sarah C., born 1725, died 1811.

A great-niece of one of these two ladies, Mrs.W., who remembers one of them, was born in 1803, and is at the present time alive and well.

It will be seen from the above facts that there are three lives only to bridge over the long period between 1630 and 1896, and that there is at present living a lady who personally knew Miss C., who had nursed a relative born in 1630.

The last lady of this remarkable trio is hale and hearty, and has just successfully undergone an operation for cataract.
