THE OPENING OF OUR Mrs. Traver Observes Her 91st Birthday Mrs. Margaret Traver, one of the oldest residents of New Britain, passed her 91st birthday anniversary quietly today at 160 Maple street, where she {8 making her home with her son, Harry A. Traver. Mrs. Tra- ver was born in New York state on July 30, 1833. Her life has been far from one of ease, for she was left a widow when almost 50, and, to sup- port herself, conducted a five-cent restaurant on the Bowery of New York. Those were the days when this section of the metropolis was at its worst and was terrorizel by the gangs, the days when horse cars were the latest thing in municipal transpos- tation, when women's skirts swept the ground with majesty but without sanity or sanitation, and when, as at her own establishment, a square meal for a husky stevedore could be pur- chased for one dime. This environment failed to make any impression on Mrs. Traver, whose watchword in life has been, “Live up to the teachings of God's word". With this mottq, she has survived her past troubles and, is looking confidently to the century mark. A year ago a cel~ ebration was held on her 90th birth- day anniversary, but this year, al- though she is able to be about every day, she is not so well and there was no celebration.
