DEATHS
Lately, Elizabeth Bennett, wife of George Bennett, of Skelsmerdale, near Ormskirk, in the 75th year of her age, who, remarkable to relate, never experienced any illness whatever, till abaout a week before her death. She was the first who has departed this life of nine: none of the survivors ever experience any ill health, so as to deprive them from following their regular employment. There are five elder and three younger still living, who are now in very good health, and whose united ages amount to 591 years.
