Mrs. Sarah Heal born July 21 1943 on Huron street Elyria is thought to be the oldest native of Elyria still living. She has lived most of her life here though illness has kept her from living alone. Now residing with daughters in the Pigeon near Sturgis Mach Ban she has 11 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Her hearing remains keen and she follows current events by radio and recalls many long-ago incidents. She and husband Thomas Heal once farmed on Cleveland road and she still owns a home on Kenyon avenue.
