Most of these look like they were taken after death. ;-)
Oh, I don’t know, doc...I hope I look as good if I make it to 105 (and I’m a GIRL!!).
Still, I thought this would be an interesting post. I’ve never seen anything like these pictures — how great is it that we have photographs of some of the men who witnessed the birth of our nation?
Regards,
I had a great uncle who was born in about 1878 - i knew him when I was a child in the 70's - he died in about 1977. I thought he was as old as the hills - had no teeth either, and looked just like the men in these photos.
As a side note, this uncle always would tell me about a man in the town where he grew up, who, as a very young boy, had met George Washington. It amazed me - only 2 degrees of separation between me and George Washington!
Check out the ages on these guys.
Most are over 100.
Heck, what will we look like when we hit the century mark. (if we do)
I expect another wrinkle or two, but not much more :-)
