Monticello Woman Mary Locher Turns 100 With Many Hobbies
Mary Locher, Monticello's oldest resident born June 13, 1875, marks her 100th birthday. She quilts about 150 pieces, collects stamps in 60 books, compiles family scrapbooks, reads, travels, and keeps busy, planning a family reunion and a Mass at Sacred Heart. Her life spans teaching 24 years, post office service 25 years, and decades of exploration from the United States to Europe at 75. She remains active with family, puzzles, and lifelong learning.
