## Unvalidated

**Marion Willington Craig** (1 December 1867 – 14 March 1978) was an American supercentenarian. At the time of his death, he may have been the second-oldest known living man in the United States and in the world, after Charlie Nelson. He claimed to have been 112 years old when he died, but research shows he may have been 110 instead. His age is currently unvalidated.

## Biography

Marion Craig was likely born on 1 December 1867 on a farm in Daviess County, Kentucky. His parents, Dempsey Craig and Mary Roberts, were not married. His father later married at least four times, and he had many half-siblings.

Craig married Nancy "Nannie" (née Wallace) Kirk on 19 January 1890 in Fordsville, Kentucky. The couple had five children together, as well as Nancy's three children from her previous marriage; three of them outlived their father.

Around 1911, the family moved to Benton, Illinois, and later to the nearby city of Harrisburg. Craig worked as a miner for 36 years near Eldorado, as well as at Western Cartridge Co., which later became Olin Corp. in Alton.

Craig's wife Nancy died in 1928. In his later years, he was affectionately known as 'Pappy'. He survived pneumonia at the age of 109. At the age of 110, he had 13 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren.

Craig died on 14 March 1978 in Harrisburg, Illinois, at the likely age of 110 years, 103 days.

## Recognition and Age Issues

Several newspaper articles were published about Craig in 1968, 1974, and 1977. He claimed different years of birth every time, but his longevity was praised in each article.
