Changes Noted in Abbeville Woman’s 96 Years
Abbeville’s Mrs. Fannie Calhoun Marshall celebrated her 96th birthday recalling a life of vast change. Born March 17, 1851, she describes shifts from open fires to electric stoves, from wine at visits to today’s drinking norms, and from luxury era servants to modern homes. She recalls wars from 1812 to World War I, mentions Calhoun family mills, and notes social fashions from hoop skirts to knickers, corsets to comfort. She remains sharp, reads daily, enjoys travel by car, and treasures a long memory of Abbeville’s streets, people, and times past.
