A remarkable group picture made in this town recently, includes seven sisters, all of whom except one live in Brunswick. These ladies have all passed the fiftieth milestone, their ages ranging from 50 to 67. It is doubtful if any family in Maine could duplicate such a group. Mrs. Girard of Lisbon is the only one of the sisters to move away from Brunswick. They have one brother, who lives in Canada. Every one of these seven sisters has raised up families and their sons and daughters are well known among the young people of the town.
