LAWERENCE JOHNSON HONORED ON hI8 HUNDREDTH BIRTHOAY. Althugh Suffering from Fractured Rib Was Able to Meet and Greet .. Hundred and Fifty of His Friends. and Neighbors, at the Home of His Son in Avon. Lawerence Johnson of Avon, a naâ€" tive of Bayham township, first" saw the light of day on Aug. 11, 1817, and| accordingly â€" reached the â€" century. mark on Saturday last, and his relaâ€" tives and friends, to the .number of about one hundred and fifty, with well filled baskets. met at the home of his son, near Avcn, and celebrated the unique occasion by a picnic. Many were the hearty greetings, handâ€" shakes and congratulations extended to this remarkable man, who, after spending a full hundred years in the vicinity where he now lives, still reâ€" tains his mental faculties and a large mcasure of physical strength, and is respected by all who know him. Two days previous to this celebration Mr. Johnson had the misfortune to _ fall and fracture one of his ribs. _ From such a mishap the average ‘ man of much younger years ‘would be confinâ€" ed to his bed, but this man of many years was actively moving about among his friends as if nothing were wrong. Mr. Johnson has always been keenly interested in sport, and was an interested spectator at a game of baseball played by the younger people at the picnic.

Johnson, 73; Robâ€" ert Barr, Harietsville, 70. ¢f The function was an exceedingly pleasant one,and Mr. Johnson was much gratified that such a large numâ€" ber of friends, some from long disâ€" tances, should come to greet him on the day he became a centenarian. Many more would have been present had it not been for the pressure of work on all the farmers at this busâ€" ‘lest of all seasons, and to the fact that many of Mr. Johnson‘s relatives live in very distant parts of the country. Many Relatives Present. The tables were set upon the spa clous lawn, and the spread was such as is always looked for from the residents of this sectionâ€"one that both urban and suburban people fully appreciate.
