ONE HUNDRED AND ONE YEARS OLD. Anniversary of the Birth of Mrs. Matilda Vose of Hyde Park - Remarkable Woman of a Remarkable Family. Hyde Park, July 17, 1889
An unusual event will be quietly celebrated tomorrow, it being the 101st anniversary of the birth of Mrs. Matilda Vose, a life-long resident of this town and neighborhood. Mrs. Vose was born in that part of Dedham which was the earliest settled, on the borders of the Neponset river, known as Green Lodge, July in, 1783. Hyde Park was then a vast wilderness without a dwelling, River street being only a winding pathway. Mrs. Vose nee Miss Matilda Whiting, was the daughter of Joshua Whiting, who lived to be 84 years old. Her great great-grandfather, Nathaniel Whiting, was one of the original settlers of that part of the town, and her great grandfather, Jeremiah Whiting, who himself lived to be 80 years old, built the house in which site was born in 1717 and it is now standing in a good state of preservation. Miss Whiting was married in Dedham on Feb. 22, 1807, to Jesse Vose of Milton, of which Hyde Park was then a part. Immediately moving to Milton, living on the Brush Hill road, in the house now occupied by Henry W. Vose, near Robbins Street. As a result of this union 10 children were born, six of whom lived to grow up, four dying in infancy and Benjamin C. Vose of Sunnyside, who was treasurer of the Bay State Iron Company, dying suddenly last spring of pneumonia. Joshua Whiting Vose still lives on the Brush Hill road in Milton and Miss Mary E. Vose and Sarah N. Vose live with their mother on one of Hyde Park’s most picturesque elevations in Neponset. Jesse died in 1802 and John in 1882. On the death of her husband Mrs. Vose was left with six children, with slender means, but she managed the farm with great skill, meantime giving to her children a liberal education. Mrs. Vose's father, Joshua Whiting, was a soldier in the revolutionary war, and started for the front when the memorable tap was sounded on April 18, just before the battle of Lexington and the gun he carried, an old flint-lock-King’s arms they called them then-is still in the possession of his grandson, Joshua, in Milton. Mrs. Vose has resided with her daughter on Maple Street, Hyde Park (but has made yearly visits to her old home on the Brush Hill road, often staying overnight with her son Joshua and on July 5 1888 when herself within a few days of her 100th birthday, participating in the festivities of his 75th birthday. Mrs. Vose was born 11 years before Washington’s death and often speaks of his memorial services held at Dedham, which she attended. In appearance Mrs. Vose is an extremely attractive woman. She is very fair, with an abundance of hair, which has turned only slightly gray, and the unusual event of entering a second century of life is in the full enjoyment of the (acuities of body and mind, with memory unimpaired, thoroughly alive to all the changes about her and of the events of the day, is as rare an occurrence as is often in the province of a writer to chronicle.
