Oldest WWI Veteran has died

Harry Landis, the oldest US WWI veteran has died in Florida at age 108. OK, I said that already in the title of this post. But in December, J. Russell Coffey - the last oldest WWI veteran - died in Ohio at age 109. This leaves one known WWI survivor of the 4.7 million who served. Frank Buckles of West Virginia who is 107 was only 16 when he enlisted - he lied about his age.

Oldest Blogger

Somewhere out there is the world's oldest blogger. Like everything else in the oldest business, there are some grey areas.

Donald Crowdis of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada is 93 and has a blog called Don To Earth.


Olive Riley is 107 and blogs, but as she can no longer see, she is assisted by Mike Rubbo. She lives way down under, and her blog is called The Life Of Riley.
