pages are part of the Schuyler co., NY Genweb page. Not for commercial
use."The Havana Journal of last week says: We were pleased to
notice on our streets on Tuesday morning of the present week, the
venerable Rosewell Wakely, who is almost up among the nineties. He
was walking as spry as an ordinary man of 45, and without the use of a
cane. Mr. Wakely has evidently walked into the village in the morning
from his farm on the West Hill, nearly a mile distance. We congratulate
him on his extraordinary vigor, and wish him (well)..."
