Something special was happening at Mary Cantway’s home on Monday, Sept. 30.
Numerous friends and neighbors were joined by Homewood officials, two television cameramen, and several reporters as they all arrived to mark Mary’s 110th birthday.
Village President Rich Hofeld, Village Manager Napoleon Haney, and Chief of Police Denise McGrath led the visitors into Mary’s backyard to celebrate her status as Homewood’s first supercentenarian, a title that made her a local legend.
