  Mrs. Margaret P. Schlosser, an old resident of Bustleton, Twenty-third 
ward, Philadelphia, died on Wednesday, in the one hundredth year of her 
age.  She was born in Philadelphia, September 21, 1774, and married Jacob 
H. Schlosser, a soldier of the Revolutionary war.  The deceased leaves 
four children, the youngest of whom, Mrs. Henry Dewers, is sixty-five 
years of age.  She resided in Bustleton for a number of years, and was 
highly esteemed by a large circle of acquaintances, who took great 
pleasure in hearing her graphic descriptions of life and fashions which 
prevailed nearly one hundred years ago.  She preserved her full faculties 
up to within a few days of her death, with the exception of her eyesight, 
which she lost several months ago.
