Houston, now living at Virden, Man., are some re- markable experiences. This life has seen five British Sovereigns on the throne, more than that number of wars, and in the last one, the Great War, she was more active ilea in any other, for, althoegh more than ninety years old she kept knitting socks for the soldiers. Mrs. Hous- ton, formerly Flliza Jane Boyd, was born near Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland, May 16th, 1825, the daugh- ter of James Boyd and Nancy Car- lyle. She married William John Houston in 1851. To this union were born eight children, four sons and four daughters. Mr. and Mrs. Houston left Ireland. for Canada in 1854 itt a sailing vessel. After six weeks of a stormy passage they were practically ship wrecked oft the coast of Newfoundland. They arrived in Ottawa before the railway was built and saw the first train come into the present capital. of Canada. After five years in Canada they returned to Ire- land where they rmnained fourteen years, recrossing the Atlantic and settled hi New York State, whore they lived for two years end then moved to hayfield, Huron County, Ontario, i41r, Houston died iii 1870 while at Bayfield, and Mrs. Houstoft moved to Virden and has made her home with a daughter, Mrs, J,, I4, Schmidt for nineteen years. Airs. I-ioustoa still enjoys good health and none of her faculties are impaired. She has.seen many wonderful changes in ninety-four years -,..and can remem- ber tcltea it was thought . impossible that cars could run without horses, This was before railways were dream- ed of and when any woman who op- erated an automobile would have been burned as a witch. She reads often, sews and embroiders beautifully. FIer reminiscences of Ireland and pioneer life in Canada are very interesting. 0f lier family there are living Mrs. J. H. Schmidt and Mrs. McIntyre, Virden ; Mrs, Laughain, Strauraer, Sask. ; Mrs, (Itev.) Fortune at pres- ent in i ew Zealand, and Samuel of Bayfield, Ontario, She has also a sister, Mrs. William Eagleson, Bay- fleld, surviving, I-Ier father' died at the age of ninety-seven and her moth- er at eighty-two."
