- Mrs Irene M. Warner, mother of Mrs. L. A. Cooper, celebrated her ninetieth birthday anniversary Sunday and observed the occasion Monday afternoon when a- reception was held at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. Guy F. Downing, North Washington avenue. A family dinner was held Sunday at the home of Mrs. Cooper.
Mrs. Warner is a wonderful and most interesting woman. Although ninety years of age, she is youthful and vigorous to a degree which would be notable in a woman half her age. She is in the best of health, her sight is excellent, and her mind as keen as that of youth. She recollects events of half and three quarters of a century ago with ease. When the Barnum & Bailey circus was in Lansing last week she attended the afternoon performance, walking to and from the grounds, a distance of twelve blocks. On the same evening she attended the High school commencement exercises to the Glatimer theatre to see her great granddaughter, Miss Norma Taylor, receive her diploma. At the end of the strenuous day she was as chipper as ever. At the close of the three hours reception Monday afternoon she was not at all weary and could hardly be prevailed upon to return home—she wanted to go calling. In the evening she received a caller and, as though she had just returned from a rest instead of from a three hour reception which is wearying to even the youngest, she chatted gayly about events of her childhood and other moments in her life. Her descendants, by whom she is greatly beloved, are fearful that she will overtax her strength but she gives their fears little provocation. She believes and practices the rule "Early to bed, early to rise." She is up with the birds in the morning and insists upon helping about the house all the day long. She is fond of walking and does a great deal of it.
She attended the carnival two weeks ago, went into the shows and stood for her picture to be taken.
She attends the Universalist church every Sunday. In short, her life is one that one that might be marveled at in a woman thirty years her junior.
Last October she came from Kirkville, N. Y., alone and walked into the home of her daughter without even notifying her that she was coming on that certain day. Twelve years ago, when she was seventy eight years old, Mrs. Warren went •to Texas alone, to visit her brother, and from there to Denver, Colo., and back to Kirkville, unaccompanied on the entire journey. It was her second trip to Texas in recent years.
Mrs. Warner has four children, Mrs. L. A. Cooper, of this city, A. L. Warner of Fulton, N. Y., Clinton D. Warner of Los Angeles, Cal., and Irving N. Warren of Provo, Utah. She has five grandchildren, among them being Mrs. Dora Eli Taylor and Mrs. Guy F. Downing of this city, and four great grandchildren, including Miss Norma Taylor of this city. She has a sister Mrs. Anna Wilcox of Kirkville, N. Y., who has reached the age of eighty-six years, and a brother, Oliver Mabie, of Kirkville, who is eighty-four years old. Mrs. Warner's mother lived to the age of 93 years, while all o£ Mrs Warner's brothers and sisters being eight in the family, lived to good old-, age.
Mrs Warner was born in 1821 in Onondaga county, N. Y She has been a widow for 37 years Thirty years ago she came ro Lansing to years ago she came to Michigan to visit and has visited in Lansing and through the State frequently since then. Last October she came to Lansing to make her home with her daughter. Between the years when she was 40 and 50 Mrs Warner suffered with stomach trouble, but when she reached the age of 50 the trouble disappeared and she seemed to take on new life. She has been in the best of health since that time.
At the reception Monday afternoon there were about 45 guests. The daughter and grand daughters of Mrs. Warner received with her. The rooms were beautifully decorated with flowers. The hostesses were assisted in the dining room and through the parlors by Mrs. Robert Smith. Miss Minnie Chapman, Mrs. Rudolph Shoemaker, Mrs. L. D. Whitney and Miss Norma Taylor.
The gifts received by Mrs. Warner were numerous and beautiful and included postal cards from one end of the continent to the other, a box containing 90 new pennies, quantities of flowers, and numbers of letters. One letter in particular which Mrs. Warner received she thought bespoke the spirit manifested by her friends. It read; "Dear Mrs. Warner: Your friends extend to you congratulations upon the occasion of your 90th birthday. It is a rare distinction, indeed to have attained this age, and while you have been spared to add still another score to the three score years and ten allotted by the psalmist, your friends wish for you many more happy returns of this day, continued good health and kindly consideration in the blessed eventide of your life.
A more grateful and deeply appreciated recipient could not be imagined than is Mrs. Warner. Each and every gift she ponders over and feels deeply the spirit which prompted the sending of it.
