I have a transcript of a newspaper article published 17 March 1875 in the DEMOCRAT of Ravenna, Ohio, covering the 100th birthday of Matilda (Boosinger) Sapp.
Apparently she celebrated the special day at the residence of Daniel F. Sapp, one of her sons.
It reports, "She was the second child in a family of thirteen, four sons and nine daughters, of Conrad and Catherine Boosinger.Of these children four only are living--Mrs. Matilda Sapp, of Ravenna, age 100; John Boosinger, of Brimfield, age 90; Mrs. Lina Haines, of Kendalville, Ind., age 80; Mrs. Rachel Saxe, of Orrville, O., age 76."
It goes on to describe her rather large family.Also mentions that, in her childhood, she saw General George Washington.
