Lewistown Junction, August 6. - Mrs. Nancy Miller, who spends her time with her daughter, Mrs. W. S. Bishop in the Lewistown Narrows, performed a feat today that many women thirty years her junior would have been exceedingly proud of. Mrs. Miller is bordering on her eighty-fifth year and yesterday morning she picked up her pail and accompanied the crowd of young people to the mountains for huckleberries. Mrs. Miller was as young as any of them, climbing the high steep mountains with great vigor; she picked ten quarts of berries, killed a large rattle snake and returned home in time to get supper for the family.
