Mrs. Catherine Morrissey
that her widowed mother, Mrs.
Martha McPhee, had lived in for
62 years. Mrs. McPhee died only
after 104 years and seven months
of hearty living.
The story of Mrs. Morrissey's
own family, is an astounding one.
Of originally eight children, five
remain, and they are all scat-
tered across the country. Mrs.
Katy Groom lives in Vancouver,m
with her family, Mrs. Mary"
Bedard dwells in Detroit,-'Jack
Morrissey lives in Crediton, Ben
Morrissey in London, and Mrs.
Hubert Desjardine lives in
Amberly. Mrs. Morrissey also
has 31 grand-children, and an
amazing number of 55 great-
grandchildren. She is truly
hoping that she can witness the
coming of a great-great grand-
child, and she's optimistic that
she will.
At Mrs. Morrissey's 90th bir-
thday party, 104 people were in
attendance, and numbers such as
that give some idea of the
largeness and closeness of her
family.
With keen interest, I listened as
Mrs. Morrissey reflected on Mt.
Carmel's days as a fast-paced
community. Many more houses
filled the town, and a stage-coach
run by Peter Mclssac of Dash-
wood, was responsible for other
businesses, like the hotel and

As I dashed up the steps of the
house, I was greeted by a youth-
ful, ninety-two-year-old gal, who
had just finished the dishes. She
insisted that I come in for a chat,
even before I had a chance to tell
her that that was exactly what I
was hoping to do. Mrs. Catherine
Morrissey is not only Mt. Car-
mel's oldest citizen, but is
proclaimed, by her neighbours,
to be one of the keenest.
Except for a five-year stay in
Detroit during her youth, Mrs.
Morrissey has lived all of her life
in or near Mt. Carmel. Her
childhood was spent on the
Concession 14 of McGillivray
township, where she lived with
her parents and four sisters, Mrs.
Morrissey's only living sister,
Rachel Webster, celebrated her
90th birthday on September 1 and
Mrs. Morrissey attended the
celebrations, which were held in
Detroit.
When she married, Mrs.
Morrissey and her husband
Augustus moved about four miles
from the place where Mrs.
Morrissey had spent her
childhood, to a farm in Stephen
Township, where "Gus" did
extensive cattle-farming.

blacksmith's shop. Mt. Carmel
also boasted of a mail and
newspaper depot, called the Offa
Post-Office. Mrs. Morrissey even
recalls the town-hall in which
grades seven and eight were
taught, and the old, much smaller
separate school, and the original
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church.
Mrs. Morrissey, herself, is still
an avid reader, and never misses
doing a cross-word puzzle from
the paper. She feels she has a lot
to be thankful for, and is
especially thankful that she still
has the full use of her mind,
which she feels would be one of
the worst things to lose.
With real optimism she looks
toward the future for her next
major milestone: her ninety-fifth
birthday. We in Mt. Carmel have
no doubts that she will make her
goal.
