large 14-ounce cans were eight

Young Immortals! Signers of Declara- ton of Independ- ence Relatively
 Young Group
 R eco ds
 s h o W.

Although the SignerS of the Declaration of Independence are popularly believed to have been the "elder statesmen" of their day. they were, in fact, relatively young men as a group, with an average age of less than 45 years, accord- ing to statisticians of the Metro politan Life Insurance company, who have concluded study of the longevity of these founders of the nation.
 The fact that 32 of the 56 sign- CTS failed to live out their normal expectation of life after signing, leads the statisticians to conclude: Tt may well be that these dis tinguished men literally sacrificed part of their lives in the arduouS task of successfully building the young republic"
 When John Hancock, in bold hand, signed the Declaration on July 4, 1776, the statisticians say, more than one third of his col leagues = 20 out of the 56 = were under 40 years of age, the young est signers being Edward Rutledge and Thomas Lynch, Jr., who had not yet reached their 27th birth day. Nineteen of the patriots were between 40 and 49 years, 10 were between 50 and 59, while only seven were 60 or over, three of whom were 65 or older. Ben- jamin Franklin, then in his Fist year, was the oldest of the group.
 In view of the fact that half of the signers were under age 45, 1t was to be expected that many of them would live to see their work crowned with fruition. All but nine of the 56 survived the seven years from the adoption of the Declaration to the successful con- clusion of the Revolutionary War. Forty were alive at Washington's first inauguration on April 30, 1789. When the United States took up arms a second time against England in 1912, some 36 years after the Declaration of h. dependence, 10 of the group were still living.
 The interval between the Dec- laration and the death of the sign- CTS varied considerably. For John Morton and Button Gwinnett, the interval was less than one year; for Charles Carroll, the last sur- viyor of the group who lived to the age of 95 and died on November IA, 1892, it was more than 56 years.
 The signers, as group, were not, however, long lived. As nearly as can be computed, these fathers of American independence sur- vived on the average about two years less than the general run of men of corresponding age at that time. Of course, at least two of the signers died prematurely. Thomas Lynch, Jr. was lost at sea at the age of 30, and Butt ton Gwinnett died at Al as the re- suit of wounds suffered in 8 duel. But even If these men are omitted from the reckoning, the average lifetime of this group after sign- ing was still below that for men in the usual walks of life.
