"The Havana Journal of last week says: We were
pleased to notice on our streets on Tuesday morning of the
present week, the venerable Rosewell Wakely, who is almost up among
the nineties. He was walking as spry as an ordinary man of 45,
and without the use of a cane. Mr. Wakely has evidently walked
into the village in the morning from his farm on the West Hill,
nearly a mile distance. We congratulate him on his extraordinary
vigor, and wish him (well)..."
