  Notes	Former Slave Dies at Almshouse Aged 106 Aunt Letty Garner, aged 106 years, 3 months and 16 days, believed to be the oldest woman in Dauphin county, died at the Almshouse yesterday. She came to Harrisburg in 1863, after she was liberated from a plantation at Shepherdstown, Va. Her friends have always been able to know her exact age, because the owner of the plantation on which she worked always kept a record of the birth on his properties. Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon, at 1 o'clock, in the Harris Street African Methodist Episcopal Zlon Church. The Rev. W. H. Marshall and the Rev. J. J. Turner will officiate. Burial will be made in the Lincoln Cemetery. Clipped from Harrisburg Telegraph Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 14 Jun 1913, Sat • Page 5
