They may not exert any great
influence upon the community

will they be then. Andsas they
are then, so will we of today be

Oldest Man in World Dead.
Grassy Creek, KY, July TO-

/
John Shell, 'oldest man in the
world" is dead at his home
here He had records to show
he was born in Tennessee in 1888
so that he would have been 134
years old if he had lived 70 his
next birthday. September 80.
Mr. Shell, who had lived more
than 100 years on the same farm
ir Leslie county, was veil past
the military age limit when the
Mexican war broke out and at
the beginning of the Civil War
was in his seventies. His actual
age had often been called in
question, but doctors who exam
ined him, said that they believed
he was correct in his statement
of his longevity.
One Of the most remarkable
things about his funeral is that
at his grave two of the mouners
were brothers, one SO years old
er than the other. William, 90.
aud Albert, 81, are the twain,
the latter being the son Of Uncle
Johns second wife, who was 45
when he married her and who i5
the only child of their union.
By his first wife, who died 12
years ago at the reputed age Of
122, Uncle John had four sons.
and q daughter, who survive
him, as do several grand
children, many great grand chil-
dren and a number OF great
great grandchildren.
In appearance Mr.. Shell was
not greatly different from other
extremely old persons in any
community. Though consider
ably withered and weatherbeat-
en-. he retained his vigor to d
surprising degree and was i'm
patient with those who would
have put him away in a chimney
corner. He was five feet, five
inches in height and weighed
1O3 pounds.
To those asking advice, he al
ways replied Hard work is the
way TO keep WE'LL" He had no
use for medicines and pills and
was never seriously i'll up to the
time of his death.
Mr.. Shell claimed to have cut
his third set of teeth several
years ago. His habits have al
ways been moderate but he was
not a total abstainer. using
whisky in moderation, and a lit
tie tobacco. Up to ten years ago,
he made it a habit to walk to Hy-
den, the county seat of Leslie
county, 80 miles away. His Wis
ion was good to the last and he
was able to show his little son,
Albsrt, how to bring down a
squirrel. He said that he had
killed many bears and deer with
the same weapon.
