The Cranes are not noted for longeri- ty and seldom reach the 80th year They are generally "grown up" at four- teen and fifteen, sow a small parch of wild oats, marry at 16, 18 and 20 and settle down to quiet life and piety. It is possible to crowd four and five geuera- tions in a century. They become pre- maturely old at 40 and 50, and it is re- corded of some families who have mar- ried, raised large families, and died at 25 and 30. In the early settlements early marriages were encouraged, and the hardships and privations encount- ered, made them old men and women at 40 and 50.
