Democratic Sentinel, Volume 16, Number 19, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 May 1892 — Oldest Woman Preacher. [ARTICLE]

Oldest Woman Preacher.

Rev. Lydia Sexton, who has made Seattle her home for the past three years, received her license to preach in 1851, but she was an exhorter for ten years previous to that, so she has been in the service a full half century. She is now 93 and probably the oldest woman preacha l- iq the country.
