Ebenezer Colcord
Died in Brentwood, N.H. Ebenezer Colcord, aged 98 years, 9 months and 14 days. He is said to have preserved the full vigor of his faculties until the last hour of his life. He was born in that part of Exeter which has been since incorporated as the town of Brentford, and has ever since resided on the farm previously occupied by his father. His memory, particularly of the incidents of the early part of his life, was very retentive. He had known six generations of the Gilman family in Exeter, and remembered the time when there was but one store in the place. That his strength was less impaired than is usual with persons of his age, may be inferred from the fact, that he mowed every summer, from the age of 14 to 97, and hoed corn in the year 1822, when he was more than 97 years old.
