| 101 year old Parkesburg born Lydia Lesher |
When the nurse laid newborn Lydia Lesher beside her mother for the first time, the baby was blue from lack of oxygen.
"She probably won't make it through the night," the nurse said.
That was in 1910.
Now, 101 years later, Lydia (now Lydia Weaver) is clear-eyed and healthy in her West Chestnut Street home.
And she remembers quite a bit.
"I was born in a house on a hill near Parkesburg," Weaver said. "I didn't come to Lancaster until I was 6."
She has lived here ever since, and she can recall a city most might barely recognize.
