Mrs. Geo. JEWETT who had reached the age of 81 years, belonged to a family noted for longevity. Her mother, Mrs. COWPERTHWAITE, who died in 1883, was 93 years of age and was the eldest of a family of 15 children, all of whom lived to grow up and eight of whom were living at one time, the youngest being over 70 years of age. Mrs. Cowperthwaite's mother, Mrs. BRIGGS was 92 years old at the time of her death and often entertained her great grandchildren with tales of the Revolutionary war which she remembered very well, being a resident of New York at that time. Mrs. Jewett leaves two brothers: Richard G. COWPERTHWAITE of Abilene, Kansas and Wm COWPERTHWAITE of Monticello, Me.; the former is 77 and the later 84 years of age. Many of our older readers will remember Mrs. Jewett's husband, the late Geo. Jewett, who was associated in busines with the late Hugh HARRISON, father of Rev. F.W. HARRISON, under the firm name of Harrison & Jewett. They kept a general store on what is now called Allan's Corner and lumbered on the upper St. John between the years 1841 and 1850.
