From the Loring Genealogy, page 29:107
Mary was a woman of remarkable vitality and efficiency; a Boston paper said of her at the time of her decease that for forty-five years past she had eaten but one meal in twenty-four hours and that was ordinarily a little bread and cheese at night, a little before she went to bed; yet her health was such that she was at the head of her family affairs and business till about ten days before her death. (Her husband, however, speaks in his diary of her invalid condition for years.) “Respecting her offspring, a child of her great granddaughter was baptized by its great grandfather on the Sabbath that she lay dead, and it was called after her name.”
