'huge town'

edit

The article states: "George Washington died at the age of 88, when Centralia had grown to a huge town"

Really? He died in 1905, and this is from the Centralia article:

In 1891, the population, over 1,000 [...] The 1940 population of Centralia was 7,414.

I don't know, I suppose it could be big for a 1900's Washington town, but "huge" sounds like quite an overstatement to me. Junuxx (talk) 00:22, 5 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. I changed it to "had grown to a town of over 1,000 residents" for clarity. Hoveringdog (talk) 05:18, 16 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
