Remarkable Life of Mrs Phebe Haley at One Hundred Six
The death of Mrs Phebe Haley at North Pownal is noted as the end of a remarkably long life. Born June 3 1774 in Pontal she lived 105 years in the same town. She joined the Methodist Episcopal Church at 16 and remained steadfast. She married Benjamin Haley at 17. he died years ago. They had fifteen children, ten living, many of whom are temperate or aged. Despite a difficult marriage and large family, she kept strong health and clarity to old age. Descendants extend to five generations across several towns. The piece blends praise with harsh notes on family discipline and limited intellectual achievement.
