Health and Longevity.–Andover has generally been a healthy town, though fatal diseases have sometimes prevailed. The oldest person who ever lived in Andover was Job Kenistone–he was a member of the society of Friends, and lived to the age of about 102 years, retaining his activity until within a few months of his death. Mrs. Hannah Fuller was the oldest female: she died at the age of 95. There are several aged people now residing in Andover, and who were among the earliest settlers.
