Mrs. Mary Stoker in the 103d year of her age is now living in Galaway, New York. She never saw any tea till she was 17 years old. When tea first came into use, the women used to carry cups and saucers in their pockets when they paid a visit. She never saw a potato until she was 20 years old and her father was loth to plant them fearing that they might overrun the ground and could not be rooted up. [Republican Compiler (Gettysburg, Pennsylvania) March 15, 1826. Submitted by Nancy Piper]
