      Manchester, N.H., Oct 1 – MRs. Lydia Ann Isbell, Manchester's oldest resident, today reach the age of 101 years. In observance of her birthday a group of 14 of her intimate friends gathered at her home which was with Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette Robinson, 677 Beach st. She received gifts of flowers and other mementos and a birthday cake graced her table, which she cut herself and distributed among her callers. Miss Isbell, still keen of intellect, led the conversation and chatted merely with the members of the company. She was born in Boston Oct 1, 1833, and for 30 years taught school in what was known as the Wells school, which occupied a site near the Massachusetts General Hospital. Her maiden name was Lydia Ann Hayward, and she made her home in Massachusetts until seven years ago when she came here. She said she recalls when a Tremont Street of Boston was a residential section and occupied by dwelling houses.
