Elizabeth Scott
Celebrates I00.
by Cath Wooden
Elizabeth Scott can't figure out why everyone is
making "such a fuss" over her 100th birthday.
--She says -that -her friends at Huronview are.planningg,..
"a big party, and making such a do." But, after all, it
isn't very often that :somebody gets to celebrate 100
years on. this Dearth.
Mrs. Scott : was born on. May 28, 1880 on the eighth
concession of`Hullett-Township, where her father John
Vodden had his farm. She is the oldest of four •
brothers, oneof whom is still living and one sister who
lives in Toronto.
She married' Robert Scott andthey, farmed on the
eleventh concession for many years until they retired
to Mrs. Scott's brother Robert's home in Clinton. They
had no children: She stayed on there after her husband
died and was "still doing the house cleaning at 94."
Finally she moved out to Huronview and her brother is
still:in Clinton. -
At Huronview Mrs. Scott takes part in many of the
activities and also belongs to the Over 50 Club, a group
of area ladies who meet regularly: in Clinton -for an
afternoon tea and card games.
Mrs. Scott doesn't think there are any real secrets to
living such a long life except working hard. "I cer-
tainly didn't expect to get this far," laughs the grand
lady. And there's no doubt she is going to get even
farther.
