Thanks Neal. This is so reminiscent of my own grandfather who was 6'5" and
walked to town (sometimes several miles) every day of his life until the last few months
when he was hospitalized. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow.....nor heat or anything
else kept him from doing this. He died at age 98.

Article Title: The Boston News-Letter
Article Date: June 12 1735
Article Description: Obituary of Thomas CARRIER.
Article Text:
We have advice from Colchester in the Colony of
Connecticut, that on the 16th instant died there Mr.
Thomas Carrier of that place, a person of good
repute, in the hundred and tenth year of his age,
has left 5 own children, 39 grand-children, and 38
great-grand-children, some of the last are married.
What is further remarkable, his hair was not grey
nor his head bald. He walked as upright as men
commonly do to the last, on the day of election (at
Hartford) he travell'd on foot six miles to visit a
sick man, and the day but one before his death, he
was visiting his neighbors, who took notice of his
activity and familiarity.
