William Walters Remembers Seeing His Great Grandmother.

Not many of us remember having seen our great grandmothers, but William Walters, of Rensselaer, who is now in his 83rd year and a man of very good health considering his advanced years, recalls having seen his great grandmother when he was about 8 years old. He lived in Ireland at that time and his great grand-mother was 124 years old. She died a year later. Mr. Walters’ father died during the civil war arid indications were that he was poisoned by a young man.
