    'On the 22nd of November [sic], in Waterloo county, Ontario, Mary, widow of Jacob Shantz (who died some two years ago), aged 85 years, 7 months, and 11 days. He leaves a posterity of 159 souls.'

    This obituary was published in November 1869, and presumably she died in October, which would make her age at death accurate.
