My.grand ma was 104 when she died
I heard about this in a old Newspaper (1987) That was just even older newspaper articles(1901-1920) because they were celebrating the town's founding or something.(the newspaper was the blackduck american)
Looks 150😳
My relative.
Long live the Ojibwe Nation.
He lived long because he didn’t eat what the whites brought or drink what the whites brought😂🤣
Nah he was like 120 some
That was my grand pa
He won ww1 all alone and
Rumors were that they were planning on his resurrection for ww2 but it mysteriously ended in 1945
Long live Everyone!
