Mrs. Anna Woolheather, believed to be the oldest member
of the Rebekah Lodge in Illinois, quietly celebrated her 90th birthday last
Friday at the home of her son and daughter-in-law Mr. and Mrs. Roy Woolheather
where she makes her home. In good health, Mrs. Woolheather, a charter member
of Abigail Rebekah Lodge # 759 here, and past noble grand, takes a lively
interest in current events and is an avid radio fan. During her lifetime
she has lived through four wars, and has witnessed the advent of electricity,
radio and atomic power, as well as great development in transportation and
agriculture.
