BRYAN EATON/Staff photo. Staffer Jill Ramsdell presents Atria Merrimack Place resident Clara Sillars with her favorite flavored cake: chocolate. Sillars, who was born in Danvers, turned 107 years-old yesterday and was feted by staff and local polititians and quipped with staffers the reason for her longevity was not having children.
