90th Birthday Celebration of Mrs. Nancy MCCLURG NOAH
From The
McDonald PA Record, July 25, 1924, page unknown:
Mrs. NOAH Passes 90th Birthday
Fifty friends and neighbors assembled at the home of Mrs. Nancy MCCLURG
NOAH at Eldersville to do her honor on her 90th birthday
recently. It was a most enjoyable occasion. A dinner was served by the
women and a pleasant social time was enjoyed by all.
In the afternoon an eloquent and appropriate address was made by the
Rev. J. I. BROWN.
Mrs. NOAH, who greatly enjoyed the occasion, is in a fairly good state
of health and bids fair to see many more such anniversaries. She still
does the most of her housework, puts up her fruit and makes jellies and
preserves and has her quilts and things hung out in the sun airing in
good housewifely style.
It is not on account of any great or unusual strength that Mrs. NOAH
accomplishes all she does, for she is frail as might be expected of one
of her years, but it is because of an ambitious and plucky spirit.
Mrs. NOAH has witnessed some wonderful changes in her time. She saw the
Panhandle line of the Pennsylvania railroad built in the early 60’s
past the home of her father, where she was born, just below Hanlin
station. She has witnessed the evolution of the narrow dirt road, which
passed through Eldersville, where she went to school, up to the last
word in modern construction in the splendid concrete highway now being
built through this village. Last fall when the Shenandoah sailed over
Eldersville she hurried out into her yard to see the wondrous and
magnificent spectacle of a ship passing almost over her head. She has
talked on the telephone, ridden in an automobile, and listened in on the
radio, and seen a whole lot of other things not dreamed of in 1834.
