I figure there were folks who were in their 80s during 60s telling others how great things were around the “turn.”

You figure dead wrong. Such folks were routinely making the point that things were so much better in the 60s than they were back in the day.

I doubt seniors in the 60’s missed 1900 living much. Polio, TB, lockjaw. No penicillin. Common for death from infection, childbirth, wounds. No cars (ahh, the smell), electricity, central heating, vacuums, phones, radios, TVs.

Disagree.
