− | Anna Maria {{Surname|Flickinger}}, the oldest resident of her sex in Green, and eldest child of Peter {{Surname|Flickinger}}, was born on the 1st day of August in 1814, in Somerset County in the State of Pennsylvania. At the age of 9 months she came with her father and mother to Green township when they settled upon the south east quarter of section No. 9 whereon she has since been living. Despite many a change has she since seen be wrought upon the face of Green. The "field of grain" then waved not here- there waved but "weed" and "forest tree". "Spire on Church" then reared not here - none reared here then but "mighty oak". "Sweet organ Son" then sang not here- then none but "Toad" and "Bull Frong" sang. | + | Anna Maria {{Surname|Flickinger}}, the oldest resident of her sex in Green, and eldest child of Peter {{Surname|Flickinger}}, was born on the 1st day of August, in 1814, in Summerset (''sic'') County, in the State of Pennsylvania.
