LANCASTER COUNTIAN DIES AT AGE OF 101

MRS. CATHERINE WOODLAND, A NATIVE OF GAP,
PASSES AWAY IN PHILA.

Mrs. Catherine Woodland, a native of Gap, this county, who had reached the age 
of 101 years, died on Saturday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. A. 
Pinkerton, of Philadelphia.  Mrs. Woodland lived in the town of her birth for 
seventy-five years.  Her parents came from County Derry, Ireland, and both lived 
until a good old age, her father dying when 95, while an aunt of the deceased 
died at the age of 102 years.  Two daughters and one son survive, besides seven 
grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren.  When questioned on the 
anniversary of her 100th birthday as to how to live long Mrs. Woodland said that 
she always worked hard and perhaps that had something to do with her reaching 
the century mark.  The funeral will take place on Tuesday from the Church of Our 
Lady of Consolation, Parkesburg, Chester Co.
