MRS. IDA GILLISPIE, STILL ACTIVE AT 100
THANKFUL FOR MANY THINGS
Miss Ida Marks, 100 Happy Years
HOMER: Folks on the Hunter plantation near Jug Tavern were very thankful as the Thanksgiving season rolled around in 1861?there was a new baby girl in the Hunter home.
The new baby was named Ida and Wednesday she celebrated her 100th birthday Anniversary at the home of her daughter, Mrs.J. C. Hill,. in Homer. She is now Mrs. Ida Hunter Gillispie, and, although confined to a wheelchair, is still alert and active.
Wednesday people kept dropping in to see "Miss Ida,' I and there?was a birthday party for her Wednesday afternoon.
'She said she was thankful all year long but at Thanksgiving time especially thankful "for my long life, my ancestors, my children." "God has been good to me and blessed me in many ways. I am thankful I still have an alert mind and have had good health," she said.
The centenarian was born on a 700?acre plantation near Jug Tavern now Winder. Her father was William Hunter, a practicing physician. When, she was 14, she moved with her family to Banks 'County. Later, after her father's death, the family moved to Hebron community in Franklin County.
At 23 she married M. D. Gillisple. Born to the union were three daughters, now Mrs. W. T. Moss and Mrs. J.C. Hill of Homer and Mrs. J. C Long of Tate. "Miss Ida" spends her summers in Tate and the winters at the home of Mrs. Hill.
She is one of the founders of the Banks County Sunday School Convention and has been absent from its meetings only twice in 79 years.
She has 12 grandchildren. 8 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren.
