_A Centenarian Couple._--The obituary of _Blackwood's Magazine_ for August,
1821, contains the following:
"Lately, in Campbell, County Virginia, Mr. Chas. Layne, sen., aged 121
years, being born at Albemarle, near Buckingham county, 1700. He has
left a widow aged 110 years, and a numerous and respectable family down
to the fourth generation. He was a subject of four British sovereigns,
and a citizen of the United States for nearly forty-eight years. Until
within a few years he enjoyed all his faculties, and excellent health."
The above extract is followed by notices of the deaths of Anne Bryan, of
Ashford, co. Waterford, aged 111; and Wm. Munro, gardener at Rose Hall,
aged 104.
