ii r ! t Th Nws-Rviw, Roteburg, 0r. Thur., April 19, 1962 I Centenarian Gets Hospital Policy WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt. (AP) Insurance history was made today when a woman 41 days shy of her luznd Dirthday was issued a hospitalization pol icy by the Vermont Accident In surance Co. Ellen Elizabeth Ferry, a spry lass with sparkling sense of Hu mor who chopped her own fire wood at the age of 98, is anticipa ting, with glee, her 102nd birth day May 28, "so wa can have a nice party. I like parties." Mrs. Ferry is believed to be the oldest holder of a hospitalization policy in North America, says I. J. Davis, agent for the insur ance company. Davis said we had no grounds to refuse her, She apparently has no medical history and ws consider her an excellent risk." Mrs. Ferry verified the health factor. "I never bad a sick day In my life," she beamed. The policy, for which Mrs. Fer ry pays $100.80 annually, includes $20 a day in hospitalization bene fits, $100 for emergency surgery and $300 for regular surgery. Mrs. Ferry has outlived her brother, her six sisters and her husband, Frederick, who died at h-v one sister lived to be 101. She was bom in North Ely, Quebec, in 1860. Her parents, Charles and Margaret Smith, were natives of Ireland and Amer ican citizens. They returned to the United States about 1880. Mrs. Perry's most vivid mem ories are of her childhood when she had to walk two miles through dense forest to school. "The forest was full of wolves and bears," she said. "We bad a small dog named Coaly, because he was so black, who walked to school with us each day and scared away the bears and wolves wtui his narking, we met a bear almost every day." Mrs. Ferry walks without as sistance and requires glasses only to read. Her hearing is failing a bit but her wit is keen.
