That's a few of the things that Mrs. Emma Mercer did and she celebrated her 103rd birthday this summer out in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
    Mrs. Mercer was born Emma Rutherford on June 27, 1854 in the southwest corner of Sauk county. She remembers the coming of the first railroad train to Lone Rock and as a child waved goodbye to Wisconsin soldiers leaving for the Civil War. She attended a Ringling Brothers circus in 1872 and thinks that this was the first year they were on the road. She likes to test her remarkable memory by telling the story of the red and blue shoes. Her mother bought these for her when she was only 2 1/2. She can verify her age by the fact that her younger sister had not been born yet. The Mercers were among the earliest settlers in the area that was to become Spring Green. Amos Mercer left the northwest with his wife and children and a few household goods in 1847 on account of hard-times in Illinois. They travelled overland with a team and light wagon by way of Peoria and Galena to Mineral Point. Mr. Mercer tried lead mining for three weeks, but failing to make a success of it, left his family at Mineral Point and walked north until he struck the Wisconsin river at Leech's Crossing, a short distance from old Richland City. He crossed the river on a log canoe furnished by Mr. Leech. Coming to the mouth of Bear Creek he spent the night with the McClouds and in the morning bargained for 80 acres which he improved and sold in 1852. It was then that he purchased the farm in the Spring Green area where he and his family lived for 58 years. There were only three ahead of the Mercers when they reached their new farm: Dalby on the D. E. Mead farm; Rodgers where Vet Peck later lived and Evan Jones at High Bank. The post office for this region was at Franklin known more recently as Highland. The village of Spring Green had not yet been born. Sam Mercer married Emma Rutherford at Arena on Jan. 27, 1872. At one time they were proclaimed the oldest married couple in the United States. They had been married 77 years at the time of Mr. Mercer's death in 1949. Mr. Mercer embraced his wife a few days before he died and observed, using his pet name for her: "Well, sweet Marie, if we had been put down on a bare rock we would have made a living." And the "rock" must have seemed mighty bare at times because years ago the Mercers took-off for Iowa and later moved on to Missouri by covered wagon. Here they were stopped and questioned by Frank and Jesse James and the mother of the desperadoes became their nearest neighbor when they settled at Whitman, Mo. They were in Marrville, Mo. the day President Garfield was shot. 1901 found them homesteading up at Willow Lake, South Dakota and, after living elsewhere in the state, they finally took up permanent residence at Sioux Falls. But Mrs. Emma Mercer still considers herself a Sauk County and Wisconsin girl even though she has been away so many years. She is particularly happy when her own relatives from Wisconsin are able to come to her birthday party. Clarence McCarthy and his family from Benton, Wis. were there this year. Mr. McCarthy is a nephew and used to farm in Bear Vally before moving to Benton and obtaining employment in Dubuque.6
