Died-- At Lisburn, on the 20th ultimo, Margaret McCorry, in her 114th year. She was better known as Widow Slaven, from her residing with a son-in-law called Slaven. She was a native of Kilwarlin, but had lived for many years in County Tyrone, with her husband, who was killed there, in his own cabin, about fifty years ago; since which time, she had, for some religious feeling, never worn shoes or stockings. Her mind remained sound to the last. Caledonian Mercury (Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland), May 1, 1843
