ALL UNDER THE SAME ROOF

Five Generations of Macomber Family Live in Amity in Michigan Town. Atlas, Mich.—Living under the same roof here are representatives of five generations, ranging in age from ninety-three years to seven months. The roof is that of Mr. and Mrs. John Macomber, with whom live Mrs. Macomber’s mother and her daughter, granddaughter and great-grandson. Mrs. Margaret McCandlish, though ninety-three, is in fairly good health. During her 'youth in Scotland, where she was born, she lived near the estate of the Gladstones, and frequently attended the same church where William E. Gladstone worshiped. She came to America in 1843, and two years later was married to John McCandlish, also a native of Scotland. They came to Michigan in 1847, and took up land near Atlas.
