Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 278, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 November 1910 — D. C. Hopkins Outranks David Nowels as Oldest Voter. [ARTICLE]
D. C. Hopkins Outranks David Nowels as Oldest Voter.
On election day the Republican gave the names and ages of a number of the oldest voters in Marion township and gave to David Nowels the distinction of being the oldest voter, placing D. C. Hopkins second. We were mistaken in that particular, however, as the order should be reversed. Mr. Hopkins was 89 years of age on March 6th and Mr. Nowels was 89 on Sept. 15th. As stated at the time Patrick Halligan probably is older than either Mr. Hopkins or Mr. Nowels, but he js not altogether certain about his exact age, but is probably past 90.
