These are the type of ancestors I am most proud of. Hard working. And they are probably farmers, right?

He lived to be 97 most likely because back then people weren't pumped with Pharmaceuticals......my grandmother lived to be 98 and she never took a pill in her life except some asprin towards her end. Everyone else in my family had been snaked up by pharmaceutical companies and they died in their early 80's

I'm an insulin-dependent diabetic. Back in their day, I'd have been dead by age 10 at the latest. Perspective, children, perspective.

How do you explain that the most of people live more and better with medicines?your family and your own experience it's not enought to prove a theory,louanna

Yes it's genetics. Most people back then did not live past their 50's or 60's. If they had blood pressure, heart, diabetic, or antibiotic meds, surely they would have lived much longer. You are very fortunate that your relatives lived so long.

My great grandmother died of a tooth abscess at the age of 53 in 1936. If she'd had access to antibiotics she would have lived.

Without "pharmaceuticals" I wouldn't have made it to 2. Would you have called it "natural selection" ?

That is natural selection by definition.. if you die due to a defect or illness because of a lacking immune system.. that's natural selection too the T so to speak

Our Granny Vera is 93, she takes not a pill in the world, has most of her own teeth, no hearing problems. She drank her weight and more in alcohol and smoked till 4 years ago. Her family lived long long lives. My other Gran was 102. It is must definitely genetics.

My mom lived to be 85 and she was very healthy til the last couple of years of her life. She hated meds too, and, wouldn't take a thing except the occasional aspirin. She drank milk every meal too, ate what she wanted. She loved the outdoors and spent a lot of time outside. She was raised on an old, rocky farm with a bunch of brothers and sister and ran up and down the ridges all the time. All the food/meat they ate were raised by the family. They seldom, if ever, went to doctors. My mom's favorite saying was, "I had the best raising in the world." They didn't have much in the way of material things, but they had plenty to eat, and a lot of land to roam and play on, and they had a lot of love for each other. I often think I wish I could live like that....

This will be argued and picked over just like religion and politics and everything in between...but I agree...not poisoning your body with pills does help. I know some people do need em' and they do help obviously, but the key to longevity is happiness, good food, family and laughter!

Louanna, it's nice that your grandmother lived so long. Mine died at age 39 in the Spanish flu epidemic in 1918. My grandfather (her husband) lived to be 86. One of my aunts died in her forties of an aneurism. My mother died at 50 of colon cancer. The other four girls all lived into their late eighties to mid nineties. There is no use crowing about rejecting pills. I think that it's obvious that longevity depends mostly on genetics and partly on happenstance.

great example of someone taking one single case and drawing their own conclusions.. that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard... do you have any reckoning of how many people died, much earlier than they do now?? he, and your grandmother thankfully, were lucky.. good genes, good life.. I can't believe the stupidity of your belief that it's because they DIDN'T have medicine.. wow..

plus all of those others in your family that died in their 80's.. please do share with us their ailments... let me guess, things they'd have died of years earlier without medication...

Many people back then died in infancy from things we now vaccinate against.. you were lucky to make it to adulthood..... things that can be successfully treated for now could be fatal in back then...

I will tell you it's Drs & meds that was causing all my organs to shut down. I turned all natural & haven't had a chemical in my body in 12 yrs. I eat as healthy & organic as I can. I got diagnosed with diabetes & changed my whole life & eating habits. Never a pill or insulin shot in my life. You can reverse diabetes if you truly want to. I'm healthier now than I've ever been.

Katherine R.Weinmann several yrs ago we almost lost my nephew as an adult. His flesh started being eaten away & he was rotting. After being put in a coma to survive & transferring him to Stanford it was determined it was caused by an immunization shot he received as an infant. The Drs gave him less than a 10% chance of survival

It was hard work and good clean eating. Fresh food. Nothing in a box, frozen, canned, packaged.

my parent died were farmers that died in 50s. I remember all the fresh food and I still love it. But they did use pesticides on their crops and they didn't use anything to stop it from going into thier lungs.

Where was John White from? Where did he live and I wonder if he is related to me because I remember my grandfather, Frank Jones telling me about an 'UNCLE JOHN WHITE' who was a relative on his grandmothers' side, she was Carolyn E. White, married to George Philander Williams and both are buried in Commings Hill Cemetary in Cornish,NH.

Life expectancy for those born prior to the Civil War was 47. Why? Infant mortality, death following childbirth and lack of medicine. Without pharmaceuticals, life would be short and painful.

I think you are just a little harsh on condemning meds. Louanna, evidently you have not had much illness in your family. My daughter has been taking Imuran, a immunosuppressant drug for lupus for 20 years. If she stopped taking it, she would die. She is 44 and I do not want to lose her. I also think if your ancestors lived into their eighties, they lived a very long life.

Tough people, God fearing, very independent, frugal, long suffering......not like the people of today. We are blessed/spoiled, over weight, in debt up to our eyeballs, multiple marriages etc. Life has changed.

Humble, hardworking country folk. They were probably already in their 60's when this portrait was taken. Wonderful !

I love old pics like this
Daily living was much harder work back then and folks couldn't just sit around..they worked from sun up till sun down and didn't relax until the weekend. The food was usually home grown, self raised or hunted and was natural not processed with hormones and chemicals. because of this lifestyle they didn't need pharmaceuticals.

Just think. The changes they saw in their lifetime. I am a first generation farmer that did not have to team up horses to do the work, and I can't believe the changes. It had to be amazing to see this first automobile, first airplane, WW 1, great depression, not to mention the civil war, a USA torn apart, electricity, land line telephones, running water in your house, and most of the other stuff we take for granted.

Life was hard not all lived a long life. When you visit the old cemetery's a lot died as infants. Not many doctors in some areas. Are a difficult trip in a ox drawn wagon are no money to pay for care. Most lived off the land. Farming timbering cattle & live stock. And any thing else to get by. Just love this old picture it gives you a little glimpse of how our ancestors made a life with very little

While I love this photo - I started looking harder because something seemed off. Maybe it's a trick of light or perspective, but her face is proportionately larger than his. In fact, if you compare her features and their size and shape to the rest of her body, it just doesn't fit. She's got these delicate hands and tiny shoulders and then what looks to be a male face topped by a bonnet. She's apparently very thin, old and looks frail, except for that pretty fierce looking face! It's just a little weird.

Ann Deaver but they did have exposure to chemicals, good and air that are poison depending on where you lived. Also drank, ate and smoked things that were very dangerous. Moonshine, cough medicines, Coke with cocaine in it, cigarettes with no filters, no safety anything at their jobs or home.

Born July 18 1957, Waterloo,Ia. to Charlotte Elizabeth PULST CARROLL,and Stanley FREER CARROLL. Married to Douglas DeVere SCARLETT
Ann Busker
I am a project coordinator for a commercial general contractor in Central Texas. I was born in Belvidere, IL, lived in Loves Park IL, and moved to South Texas as a child. Texas is my home. In 1999, I moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth area with my then husband, Craig Alan Holcom, and children. Craig & I divorced in 2004. I raised my children in Garland, TX . My daughters finished high school and both joined the U.S. Army. The oldest as a Reserve Soldier and the younger as active duty. In 2018, my son and I moved to Bastrop, TX where we currently reside. My son graduated Bastrop High School in 2019, thirty years after I graduated from Calallen High School. Since then, I have merged my family with Scott Ilse and his family. We share life together as we watch our family grow.
The Busker Family immigrated from Deutschland, Germany in the early 1900's. Their goal was to settle in South Dakota but only made as far as Baileyville, IL where my great grandparents were married. I have found, 1920 through census records, that for a time my family did live in South Dakota. They did return to Illinois. My grandfather Ben Busker married Arlene Goldsworthy and they lived in Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, where my father, Paul Busker was born. They moved their family to El Paso, TX and New Mexico until my grandfather got sick. At that point, they returned to Southern Wisconsin. My grandmother, Arlene, was born in Kansas as Adam Goldsworthy moved his family around the Midwest. They finally settled in Southern Wisconsin. My father remembers Arlene's mother, Mable Byers Goldsworthy and grandmother, Anna Mable Byers Stephens coming to visit while they lived in New Mexico and Texas. In 1968, my parents met in Beloit, Wi at Firestone. My father, Paul Busker, worked there and my mother, Patricia Ann Cook came in as a customer with her cousin. They were married in 1971 in Roscoe, IL. They settled in Loves Park, IL to raise me and my brother, Thomas Benjamin Busker. My father was also a volunteer fireman in Loves Park. In 1982, my father got a job opportunity in Corpus Christi, TX and we moved to Texas. I have traced my mother's side of the family (Cook Family) through Ancestory.com to the 1700's in America. I still need to confirm if this information is correct. My grandparents, Vernon Cook and Martha Lucy Sholes were married in northern IL and moved to Pasadena, CA where my mother was born. She has one older sister, Barbara Jean Cook and a younger brother, James Cook.
