One of Maine’s oldest residents celebrated her 110th birthday on Monday. Doris Farrar at the Hawthorne House in Freeport is close to the oldest person in America but not quite.

The oldest in the country is Goldie Michalson from Massachusetts, who will be 114 on August 8.

Doris was born in Bar Harbor in 1906 but her family moved to Connecticut when she was young. She attended nursing school in Massachusetts but returned to Maine in 2003.

Farrar said her birthday was a lot of fun with relatives and friends coming and going every five minutes.
