Ernest MacPherson was his name.He was born in 1899 to a farm familly.He raised 3 girls with his wife and made their living on the same farm which he was born on.He never had glasses,a hearing aid,could still walk where he needed to go up till a few weeks ago.Reconized everyone he knew as soon as he saw them,even if he hadn't seem them for a few years.He farmed with horses most of his career,drove till he was 95 and alos lived in his own house till that point as well.He fell and broke his hip when he was 97,and the family feared that would be his end,but no.He even had several bouts of skin cancer when he was 102 and also when he was 105,had all the treatments with a breeze.He was the most amazing living history book.He saw the first cars in the area,witnesed most of the standing buildings being built in the area,saw probbably more mechanical and cultural changes in a lifetime than most will ever witness.No,maybe he didn't save or really change the world,but he sure had a good and long long long life.RIP Ernie.pd
