Forwarding from Wayne Co. list.
Shirley
"I'd like to clarify some things about the photo and article I have about the
oldest resident in 1887, since several of you inquired. Not only was she
the oldest resident of Wayne Co., but the oldest resident then of the state of
Indiana. She was Mrs. Magdaline (Shafer) Boggs, born in Lancaster Co. PA
in 1783.
My relatives in Wayne Co. IN also came from Lancaster Co. PA too. I'm
trying to get the library of Hagerstown to look into their old newspaper
collections for obits. I provided them with specific dates, but have yet to hear back
from them. If they cooperate, I'll send them a copy of what I have, and any
interested parties can get a copy from them, if interested.
Mrs. Boggs died in 1889 per a posting, which would have been just a few days
shy of her 106th birthday.
Richard"
