Mrs. Malissa Watkins Dies Near Gainsesville, Aged 107 Years. Gainesville, Ga., December 22- Mrs. Malissa Watkins died at her home, six miles north of Gainesville, today, at the extreme old age of 107 years. She was born in White county, Georgia, in 1792, and was perhaps the oldest person living in the state at the time of her death. She leaves a long line of ancestry and lived to see her great-great- grandchildren. During her life she was remarkably healthy, and it is wonderful how long her vitality lasted. She was buried at White Creek Baptist Church today and her funeral was largely attended.
