Notes:

Lonaconing, June 17 — Relatives and friends of George Ternent of Detmold, near Lonaconing, surprised him with a party on his eighty-fourth birthday, Saturday, June 14. Many were anxious to hear the history of Mr. Ternent's years of life, and his brother, John, reminisced from his store of memories, taking the listeners back to the year 1868, when Mr. Ternent began work in the coal pits of England at the age of 9, then four years later, setting sail for America and settling in Lonaconing, where he has lived ever since. Being an ardent outdoorsman, he spent much time in the woods and along the streams, and attributes much of his present physical fitness to this outdoor recreation. Having a keen mind, good sight and hearing and a firm step, he enjoys the church services he attends regularly, walking the near mile to do so, winter and summer. Guests presented him with gifts of cash, among other things, and all expressed the hope that he live to see the hundredth year.
