Mrs. Sarah Sollers...Town's Oldest Active Resident
Casstown Woman, 90, Insists On Keeping House For Son
Casstown—Mrs. Sarah Sollers has staked her claim as Casstown's oldest active resident and there's none to dispute her.
"Aunt Salle" willl be 91 years old Oct. 14. She's no Casstown's oldest reident, however, Mrs. Sally Knight tops her by a year She'll be 92 in September.
But "Aunt Sally" is ill and not able to get around like her "young" friend. The pair have been friends since girlhood.
Aunt Salie (pronounced Saily) keeps house here for her son Oscar Earhart and does all the chores connected with it despite her advance years.
She says she's in good health "Can't complain at all," she avers, but admits "I get a little lazy once in a while."
By lazy, Aunt Salie means that after doing the housework and cooking she might lie down on the couch for a short nap.
There's one thing she is a bit sheepish about.
That's when she runs the lawn mower and does a bit of garder spading—two occupations that her son forbids.
"I know I dadn't ought to, but it kinda keeps me going," she explains.
One of Aunt Salie's favorite dishes is cherry pi.
But when you ask about the recipe, she insists it's just a matter of opening up a can of cherries and making it.
She's a native of Indiana, but has spent all but the first few years of her life right here. In ____ has lived in three different houses on her street, all within the same block.
Her son is her only child. She has four granddaughters and two great grandchildren, all living in Troy.
