The Cressy Family

404

(Aunt) Sally⁶ Cressey (William⁵, Richard⁴, Daniel³, John², Mighill¹) born September 5, 1812, unmmarried, respected woman, lived to be almost centenarian. This great longevity was not the only remarkable feature of the life of "Aunt Sally," as she was affectionately known to a host of relatives, friends and townspeople. In her younger days she was a lady of much beauty and charm of manner and force of character. She was born in the new house her father had recently built on Main Street, and in which she lived to the day of her death. Though never touched by the tender passion for any village swain, her love for humanity was such that during middle life she gave shelter and loving care at different times to several orphaned boys and girls who lived to call her name blessed. She died in 1910 at 98 years, 2 months.
