all widows, whose united ages number three
hundred and sixty-five years'. The oldest is
over eighty, and the youngest between sixty

health and happiness, each of them being in
comfortable circumstances, and surrounded
by families of prosperous, highly respectable
children, grand-children and great-grandchildren.
