Men more patriarchal still have fig

robust veteran was Sir William Mich

man. who lived to nurse an infant
daughter after he had passed his
ninety-second birthday. Sir William
then had daughter alive of his first
marriage. aged siXty-siX. He married
his last wife when he was eighty-two
and had six children.

in 1927, and had by his first wife
daughter who died in infancy about
1865. The child of his old age sur
vived to the year 1923 and was thus
able to say, 81 had sister who was
buried one hundred and seventy-three
years ago"
When William PRIEST Of RipOn was
laid to rest I'm 1889. at the age of one
hundred and eight, he was followed to
his grave by his eldest son, a veteran
Of elghty-eight, and by his youngest
boy, aged fifteen, who made his APP
pearance when his father was within
sight of his ninety-third birthday, an6
when his oldest brother was seventy

Thomas Beatty of Drumcondra, near
Dublin. celebrated his one hundred

on which his youngest born entered
the world, and when his eldest son
had already seen seventy-three years.
Thomas Parr made his first trip to
the altar at eighty and became the
father of two children and he was so
full of vigor that he made a second
matrimonial venture 30 years later,
when his years numbered one hundred
and twenty-five!
