Matilda and Malinda, daughters of John and Sarah Hiatt, were born in this county March 26th, 1828, and have made their home here almost all their lives. Matilda has long been the wife of W. W. McClure. Malinda married John Towman, he dying some years ago. She has for a time made her home in Lebanon, but spends the greater portion of her time at the home of her sister. They are hale and hearty old women and look very much alike. They are the oldest set of twins we have in this township.
