Woman of 94 Years Votes for Harding
     One of the oldest, if not the oldest woman to cast a vote at our recent election, was Mrs.
Elizabeth Florance, who in a few days will reach the age of ninety-four years.  Mrs. Florance
lives with her daughter, Mrs. Fred Miller.  She is remarkably well preserved and has retained
her faculties well.  She reads, is interested in the topics of the day, and has a good memory.
Mrs. Florance is a sister of Wm. C. Sworts, who is in his 92d year of age and was also able to
go the polls to vote.  Mrs. Florance is a Republican and cast her vote for Harding and
Coolidge.
