JANE MAULE MARGARITZ 

At the Wentworth Home, on South Church street, lives Mrs. 
Jane Maule Margaritz, who was born of an old Chester county 
family. on a farm in Oley township, Berks county, Pa., on December 
3, 1827, and is now in her 92d year. She lived a large part of her 
life on a farm in Juniata county, Pa., and always lived in the country 
until 14 years ago, when she came to West Chester. 

Her father died at 76, her mother at 88. Her father's father 
and one of his sisters lived to be 92. Her father's mother also 
died old. 

Her general health is good, her hearing but little dull, her mind 
is clear and her memory good, but her sight is very poor. She cannot 
see to read or sew. She has no theory to account for her long life, 
and has been sick a great deal. She worked hard on the farm. She 
says that she did not allow her cares to worry her. One on}y needs 
to talk with her to know that she is an intelligent, capable woman. 
She feels that there is no satisfaction in living so long, and thus 
outliving one's friends. She suggested that people who do not want 
to live too long should not come to West Chester, for here they live 
on till other people are tired of them. 

I have often been impressed with the desirability of supplying 
people whose sight has thus failed in their old age with some occupa- 
tion either entertaining or useful. They are too old to learn to read 
with their fingers, or to learn the usual occupations of the blind. It 
must be feasible to invent or adapt some game, puzzles and simple 
occupations for these lonely people. The societies for helping the 
blind could not do a more useful thing than to find things to employ 
the minds, hands and the failing sight of these deserving veterans of 
life's battles.
