’l‘hert used to b.- considerable doubt
WlIC‘llll'l‘ it was possible for a human
being to live for a, century. Reports
of centt-narians were not convincing
.10 people with a taste for statistics
and documentarlj evidence. That
doubt, however, has been pretty well
swept away. Recently there has been
an avalanche of news items about peo-
blp alive, or departed from life. at
anywhere. from 100 to 136 years of
age.
Most of them. very likely. have both
‘ exaggerated tales. based as usual 01')
~_. tradition and unintentional distortion
'mther than authentic data. But many
‘r of them seem beyond controversy.
Among the latter may be set the latest
,c‘ase, that of John Dryedale. a West
Virginia farmer. who. ac‘corrling‘ to the
family record. was born in Scotland in
11796.
