This man was born in 17S8 and his wife in 1858. Married 

 at Ypsilanti, Mich., when he was 110 years old. How any 

 one may reach such a hale and hearty age is told on page 149. 



He has partaken in the strife of four wars 1812, the Mex- 

 ican, the Patriot, the Rebellion. He is at this age as spry as 

 a man of forty ; his hair is long and curly ; his muscles are firm 

 and knotty. His teeth are natural and still good, which he 

 attributes to never having eaten rich food or used tobacco-
