Mrs. A. R. Holcomb Passes 84, Says
She “Feels Too
“We oldtimers may be antiques,”
says Mrs. A. R. Holcomb : of Hunts-
ville,” but everyone knows that an-
tiques are very valuable.
Antique or no antique, Mrs. Hol-
comb, who celebrated her 84th Birth-
day anniversary Monday, still does a
good day’s work about her home and
readily admits to being as good a
cook as the best of ‘em.
Active, hale and hearty, she laughs
as much about being considered old as
does a longtime friend of hers, Mrs.
Frank Prutzman of Huntsville, 84
years young herself, who came around
to visit her Monday. “I just can’t
believe I'm as old as my friends say T
am,” says Mrs. Holcomb. “Perhaps
that’s because those same friends are |
the ones who keep me feeling so |
young”. :
She was born in Hanover Township |
January 16, 1855, daughter of the late |
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Rumage. When
she was a young girl her father pur-
chased the tract of land where she
lives to this day and brought his fam-
ily out to what was then just a tiny
community,
Married to Asa R. Holcomb, son of
the late Mr. and Mrs. Albert Holcomb,
Young To Be So Old”
pioneer residents of Shavertown, when
she was about 20 years old, she left
this section for a time and lived with
her husband in Peabody, Kansas, for
13 years. Returning to Huntsville be-
fore the turn of the century, the cou-
ple took up their residence in the old
family home on Huntsville road, where
Mrs. Holcomb still lives,
Mrs. Holcomb’s husband died five
vears ago this month, and since that
time her daughter, Mrs. Hazel Ide, has
lived with her. Mrs, Holcomb is an
active member of Huntsville M. E.
Church and the Ladies’ Aid Society,
and takes an interest in the Church
Home Department, 2
She has four children, Mrs. Alice
Ruth of Scranton, Edward Holcomb of
Cresson, Mrs. Howard Jones of Ply-
| mouth and Mrs. Hazel Ide of Hunts-
ville, eight grandchildren and one
greatgrandchild.
Even in view of the fact she is a
great grandmother, Mrs. Holcomb
feels hardly a day over fifty.
Well, fifty-one. “If you’ll excuse me,
voung man, I've got some work IT must
do. The house has to be dusted,” said
Mrs. Holcomb, who thinks it’s funny
to be so old and yet feel so young.
