Highland Fling At Age of 85
At 85, Mrs. Sarah L. Mattoon danced a Highland fling at her birthday party. At 95 she went Christmas Shopping. On Monday at Woodstock, Md., her life ended at the age of 100.
Services will be held at 11 A. M. today in funeral parlors at North and Pennsylvania avenues. Burial will be in Loudon Park Cemetery.
Her husband, her children, her old friends had gone before. But Sarah Mattoon found new friends among the young people. Until within the last few years when her health broke, there was little to indicate her ole age.
Grandson At U. of Md.
Ray Mattoon, her grandson, a student at the University of Maryland, remembers that "Grandma used to gad about a lot." She even went West at one time to collect funds for the building of the Christian Temple.
She remembered when the Union Army marched out of Cincinnati singing "We are coming, Father Abraham." She remembered hearing Lincoln speak.
She used to tell Ray of Alice and Phoebe Cary, poets, who were her cousin. Sometimes she would take out her old scrapbook and show her grandchildren the clippings – remedies for many ills, sentimental poems, sermons.
Born in Cincinnati
She was born in Cincinnati in 1842.
She recalled that her husband, John Mattoon, had worked in a telegraph office with Edison, although he was many years the inventor's senior.
She came to Baltimore in 1880 and lived in the vicinity of Eutaw and Lombard streets, then a residential section.
In 1897 she moved to West North avenue.
In addition to her grandson, she is survived by a granddaughter, Mrs. Milton W. Powell, of Chicago, and two great-grandchildren.
