He had lived O harder life and died in the
workhouse. But he lived the longer
dying at the age Of LOT.
Keel was born at Manton. near Marl'
borough. on December 10. 1900. When he
was 20 his wages were only three shillings
and eixpenoe o week. and throughout his
working life he never earned more than
twelve shillings q week, That working
life only came to an end four years ago,
when at the age Of los he worked daily as
a gardener.
Most Of his life was spent in tending
sheep. Within a few weeks Of his death
he was hale and hearty. able to eat ordi-
nary workhouse food and to read without
spectaoles, and he had the full use of his
limbs. He was not a ~teetotaller, but never
smoked and was inordinately fond Of
sugar.

Cases of well authenticated centena-
rians are sufficiently to be
OF interest. Two such died In England
In the past week.
The first was the Rev. Thomas Lord,
the oldest minister in the Congregational
Church. Born on April II. 1908, he lived
under five reigning monarchs and had
vivid recollections of joining in the cole
brations after the battle Of Waterloo.
He entered the ministry seyepty-four
years ago and at the time Of his death
had preached over 10000 sermons, oon-
tinuing to preach after passing his Tooth
year. His first sermon was preached in
1880. He was then a cobbler, and during
the week the notes from which his sermon
was preached had been jotted down on
old pieces Of leather.
He ate meat twice q day. drank no aloo-
hol and v smoked. He was a great
walker. He was married three times, and
with his second wife celebrated q golden
wedding.
The other o~entenarian was George Keel.
