Longevity in Brookline .- Without considering the mortality returns of Brookline as compared with those of other municipalities in the State, to be found in town reports and daily papers from time to time, some statistics are here given on longevity, as shown in the advanced years attained by more than three hundred and fifty persons who have died in Brook- line at the age of seventy-five years and over. The table given below, which is the most complete known, has just been compiled from the First Parish records, from the town records, from tablets and tombstones, and from private sources of information.
Sir Henry Holland, appointed physician in ordi- nary to the queen of England in 1852, writing on the " practical question how vitality may best be main- tained and prolonged into old age," observes, that " we must look mainly to four general conditions, which may be said to include all that is most essen- tial to the fulfillment of this problem. These are : (1) Air-as belonging to respiration ; (2) Aliment; (3) Exercise of the body ; (4) Exercise of the mental functions."
We have hardly space to examine how far one or more of Sir Henry's conditions served to prolong the lives of the several persons whose names are here given, nor do we know. The venerable Mrs. Mace, who heads the list as a centenarian, lived on School Street, in the house where Mr. P. W. Pierce now resides ; she was the mother-in-law of Alexander H. Clapp, the village postmaster in President Franklin Pierce's administration. She died of influenza. It is odd that the borders of the brook from Harvard Street, by School Street to Park Street and so on, which at the lower end are now of a doubtful sanitary condition, should be the places where several of the oldest people have lived and died, such as Mrs. Mace, at the age of one hundred years ; Deacon John Rob- inson, at the age of ninety-one years, who was a select- man for thirty years, from 1805 to 1835, and nine times our representative ; Mr. William Rice, at the age of ninety-one years ; Mrs. Esther P. Chandler, at the age of ninety years; and among the living, Deacon Thomas Griggs, who was three times our rep- resentative, in 1836-38, now in his ninety-sixth year, and the oldest person in town. Miss Anna Dana, who has outranked all our spinsters in point of lon- gevity, passed most of her life in a building which once stood between the present public library and Mr. John Gibbs' house. Her great age may illustrate Dr. Holland's first condition, that of " air-as belong- ing to respiration ;" for she is said to have kept her attic window, above the stairway, open at all seasons for forty years. When ninety the window was nailed

down against her will. When ninety-two she died.
The number of instances of extreme longevity in the lower lands of Brookline seems remarkable. But the condition of these lowlands is changing with the growth of population. Many citizens can now re- member the baptismal immersements in Muddy River not far from the present Downer Street settlement, where the thought of such a rite nowadays causes a shudder.
Vigorous out-of-door exercise aided longevity with many. Capt. Robert Sharp's activity cost him his life when he fell from a load of hay in July, 1765, at the age of seventy-eight. He was a prominent citizen and a large land-owner.
Negro servants, of whom there were many, died at a good age, such as Cæsar, at eighty, in 1792, and Dinah, at seventy-five, in 1803.
Women in Brookline, as in many other places, have outlived the men. The list given below includes three hundred and fifty-four persons, two hundred and ten women and one hundred and forty-four men, or sixty-six more women than men, who died in this town at the age of seventy-five or over. Between the ages of ninety and one hundred there are twenty-five women and only eight men, or over three times as many women as men. Married women have outlived single women nine to one.
Some persons on the list have lived but a short time in Brookline, having come to the town late in life. On the other hand, many who have lived in Brook- line to an advanced age, and whose names may be expected, have, for various reasons, moved away in their declining years, and their deaths are recorded elsewhere.
It is common to say of a person who dies, for in- stance, between seventy-nine and eighty years of age, that such a one is eighty ; and many whose ages are here given in years only, were undoubtedly some days or months younger than stated.
Our local records are not, and never have been, complete ; the printed forms vary with different gen- erations, and are still deficient in omitting the hus- band's name of a deceased wife or widow. The town records make no pretensions to fullness prior to 1845. The First Parish records have no entry of deaths before 1761. The tombstones in the old cemetery appear to begin about 1721. It is said that in very early times citizens of Brookline were buried in the Roxbury cemetery on Washington Street, at the cor- ner of Eustis Street. Under these circumstances the names of many persons who survived the age of seventy-five years cannot be obtained.
The list is arranged according to ages, and where two or more are of the same age, then chronologi- cally. Errors undoubtedly exist ; any one who has ever attempted such a compilation will understand this.
We are not aware that any person seriously doubts the salubrity of the air or the general healthfulness of Brookline, but here is a record, now for the first time revealed, which is as significant as it is interest- ing in support of the fact.
The population of the town is, for comparison, important.
