At the St. Paul’s United Methodist Church on Sunday, Jewell McFarlin was recognized for having her 102nd birthday on August 17th, 2010. Jewell was nice enough to let us snap this photo of her alongside her daughter Donna Patrick.
We asked Jewell what the secret to her long life has been and she replied: Enjoy life and eat ice-cream. Please note that when I asked her to verify that she was born in 1908, she corrected me and said: 19-ought-8
For a look back in time, here are some important events that took place during the year 19-ought-8.
