Original Toronto Star caption: Happy 100th birthday; great-grandma!; Rebekah Bajari; 5 1/2; with help from brother Joshua; 3 1/2; presents a bouquet of freshly picked flowers to great-grandmother Mazie McQuown on her 100th birthday yesterday at the Isabel and Arthur Meighen Lodge on Davisville Ave. I'm still pretty good for an old lady; the former Canadian Pacific Railway telegrapher told the large gathering of family and friends.
