Drake Library Archive Digital File Name: Grinnell Stories/2016-12-16 Centenarians in Early Grinnell
Summary: Kaiser recounts the lives and deaths of three individuals who lived to be 100 years old in early Grinnell--Susannah Kingdon, Rachel Adkins, and Mumpford Holland--and the difficulties in tracing the actual ages of individuals at the time. Specifically, Holland was a former slave, thus without reliable records of birth, and Adkins also had conflicting census records.
