Mrs. Christine Fisher was 103 years old when this photo was taken in January of 1899. She was born in 1796, and in the description says that she was anxious to live into 1900. I wonder if she made it. The stories she could have told…
via Facebook
Chances are, she ate sugar, bacon, drank beer, and had never heard of "detoxing" or Pilates. Bet she also walked everywhere she went!
via Facebook
You bet. They worked hard too -- pumping water, carrying wood for the fire, driving the trap up and down hills and trying to handle the horse at the same time. No rest, women were equal to men in many ways then as far as work goes.
via Facebook
The exercise they got back then just in daily activities made a huge difference. This generation knows a lot about so-called nutrition, fad diets, and hipster junk, but no one ever just walks anymore.
via Facebook
Beth Pritchard Actually I do. I racewalk. Everywhere. People used to say where is the fire and now they pay coaches to show them how it's done.
via Facebook
Food, air, and water back then didn't hold the toxins we ingest and absorb every day...and have been absorbing and ingesting for the last 6 or 7 decades, each year adding more substances to kill ourselves with.
via Facebook
Loved that she lived that long..and l'm sure she made it to 1900..but let's not forget people are living longer these day..
via Facebook
No actually things were not cleaner, nor was food. Go read Upton Sinclars book the Jungle. That brought about the movement to make sure food and drink was clean. They also went to the outhouse and had chamber pots, no vaccines and children dropped like flies. I am 52 and was born into a family that was old so I heard stories of the 1800's from people who lived in them and it was not a pristine world. Go walk through a cemetary from that time and see all of the people who died as children or in child birth or young. It is amazing.
via Facebook
Living the life in the 1800's. So much for public sanitation.
via Facebook
If you're talking about any time after the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, then no, air, water, and food were NOT cleaner. The median lifespan for people back then was almost half what it is now.
via Facebook
Mary Elizabeth Pre vaccination, yes. the 1900s were a time of change and we are all blessed to have been here to see it. At least the last half for me.
via Facebook
So many women died in childbirth or from just plain having too many children. Many people just worked until the couldn't any more. Work related accidents killed many younger people. If kids could make it to their teens (if disease did not kill them),
via Facebook
Depends on where they lived. Rural/ country living was very different than city living.
via Facebook
Mary Elizabeth So true. The environment was no where as clean as it is now. People also had to keep working pretty much their entire lives.
via Facebook
If you have a liver, you don't need to detox at all.
via Facebook
Mary Elizabeth I was thinking of people who grew their own food ie farmers etc.
via Facebook
Cindy Lewis, see the post by Mary Elizabeth for a dose of informed reality, thanks

My opinion is that we adapt to our surroundings. I probably wouldn't survive as I am now back then. And they probably wouldn't be able to be plucked from that time and live in today's world. After a certain time frame, yes, but not immediately.
via Facebook
Michele Boyle Good point. They'd be run over by a car and we'd starve to death because we no longer know how to produce anything from scratch.
via Facebook
And her food wasn't sprayed with toxins, GMO'd, and otherwise contaminated....
via Facebook
People still live to be that old. Even older. I'd say genes and good luck have more to do with it. Happiness too. Good attitudes.
via Facebook
Oh yes... People didn't die "back then". Except for babies, men, women, children... Childbirth, childhood diseases for which there was no cure (not even "good food" -- if you had access to it), infections like tetanus, "cures" that were worse than the problem they were supposed to "cure", and all the other plagues and illnesses that we have preventatives and cures for...
Yes... It was a time when people pranced through life without a care in the world...
And died in droves...

Bless her. My grandmother (b. 1898) almost was able to touch three centuries too but died six months before 2000. That says a lot, someone from that era living over 100 years! Nowadays it's normal but not then.
via Facebook
My great-grandma was born in 1897 and died in 2002. I remember asking her before the year 2000 if she thought she would see two turns of the century (and the millennium). She said, "Honey, I've lived to be 100, don't you think that's enough?" :) haha I miss her greatly! She was always blunt and to the point ;)
via Facebook
Your grandmother sounds as though she was quite a lady. Bless her heart..
via Facebook
She was a fiery little thing! I so loved listening to her stories! Her mother died when she was 3, and her father remarried. She said that the woman who raised her was her mother. She never treated any of them any different from her own children. She always loved her with all her heart :) she sure saw a lot of change in her 104 years on this earth! She was sharp of mind until she was about 102 years old. As old as she was, I still wish we would've had more time. I was 17 when she died.
via Facebook
Yes she would have seen many many changes bless her.]\
via Facebook
I wondered too but it's kind of thin? Note how they refused to smile in those days. One of my grandmothers wouldn't smile even in the 60s, for photos I mean.
via Facebook
Yes it's a bible - good eyes! In the description of the photo it says that she read her bible often. Back then I bet within the cover there was a basic family tree.
via Facebook
AncientFaces . . .and maybe a posie or two....dried, a happy memory...know my grandma did
via Facebook
Linda - I think that had to do (somewhat) with the process of taking the picture - they had to sit still for a long time.
via Facebook
Linda M. Gigliotti Not so much refused, but owing to the length of time required for an exposure at the time it would have been awkward at best to hold a smile that long. Older people, especially, would have perceived it it as a silly affectation to fake a smile for a photo (similar to the way we laugh at people who make a "duck face" in selfies today).
via Facebook
She may have had a crocheted book-mark cross in there like my great-grandmother and her daughter did. It's in my Bible now.
via Facebook
Jim Retzer Oh you mean that pout? The young ones think it's sexy. One of my grandmas was convinced she had to look serious but once in awhile she'd forget herself hehhehe.
via Facebook
I have a crocheted cross my Mom made for my Bible when I was a little girl!! :)

Is she missing her left hand?
It looks as though her sleeve just ends.

look at her face on the left side and her arm looks bound. She may have had a stroke with damage to the left side.
via Facebook
Looks like she has a Black glove on the left hand. When you look you see the little white fingertips
via Facebook
Possible, but then it begs the question of why is Grandma wearing only one glove?
What I'm seeing is the ruffled white lace at the end of an empty sleeve.

There nothing about her that suggests it. Her hand is hidden in the folds of her dress, under the bible. Her right elbow is on the arm if her chair and her left is not. Her face doesn't show and sagging which would be VERY apparent if she had a stroke that affected the side of her body. She's just sitting, as someone would.
via Facebook
I can agree that, after looking again, her left hand does appear to be hidden in the folds of her dress beneath the book; however, in looking at the closeup of her face it seems equally apparent that one side of her face does appear to have been afflicted. If not a stroke, then perhaps some form of Erb's or Bell's Palsy.

I'm hoping your Facebook has been hacked and you Sir are not an absolute imbecile and waste of skin and oxygen in real life!!

My ex husband's grandmother died six days short of her 106th birthday. Her sister died at 104.
When she was visiting at one point, she got word that her brother had died at the age of 90-something... She said "It was only to be expected. He was always the sickly one."

Ah geeeeeee! She had a great sense of humour.

I think she was actually saying it as a matter of fact.

Charlotte Edith Anderson (she hated the name Charlotte)(back, centre) and her 5 siblings, 1956. Her sister, Mary, who lived to 104, is to her left. They married twin brothers. She was a nurse with the AEF in France during WWI.
L-R: Samuel; Ida; Edith; Mary; Susan; Art
Brothers John and Albert had already died.

This was taken when she was a public health nurse in New Rochelle, NY, before the war. Since she was Native, no hospital in Canada would train her. The New Rochelle hospital had no problem and she trained there. She was the first First Nations woman in Canada to be trained as a nurse. I once net a woman on a bus whose grandmother was the first First Nations woman to be trained as a nurse in Canada. What are the odds?
via Facebook
Anneke Dubash Wonderful, Thanks for sharing. .:-)

This made me chuckle out loud, how amazing that the sickly one made it into his 90s!! Love it
via Facebook
She kept a diary during the war. It mostly consisted of the details as they prepared to go overseas, preparing the hospital, and socials and tea dances... until the war for the Americans really got underway. She mentioned one tea dance which was attended by the great flying ace, Eddie Rickenbacker. He asked her to dance. She said "he was very handsome but a bit full of himself".
Then her entries became more sparse. So little time to sit down and write about the horrors of war, though she did write about a few very poignant entries.
She wrote about a young man who had been gassed. He was recovering and I think they must have been rather sweet on each other. I can't recall his first name (John?). His last name was King. He was from Waterloo, Iowa. One night his lungs started hemorrhaging. They couldn't stop the bleeding and he died.
After the war, she went out and visited his family in Iowa. When she got married to my ex's grandfather, they sent her a huge set of silver cutlery.
I met her on her 100th birthday. She had lost much of her memory but she was very sharp otherwise. She loved to laugh.
I wanted to make an impression on her. When we were talking she took my hands. She smiled and said "Oh! You have lovely warm hands!!"
At her funeral, her grand-niece gave the eulogy. She said that Edith had such cold hands that she was always pleased when someone had warm hands. I knew that I had made an impression, at least.
She was buried with military honours. Like so many men and women from the Six Nations of the Grand River, she had served in time of war. I was very proud to have known her.

My great grandmother lived to 108. Born 1897, died 2005.

Wow that was amazing..hope you share her longevity gene :)

Lol, actually I'm adopted so I'm outta luck there!! But plenty of sufficiently elderly ancestors in my biological family tree, so I'm not too worried ;) I can make do with living into my 90s.

She did not make it to 1900.

Thanks for sharing her information, but sorry to hear that she didn't get to fulfill her dream.
via Facebook
I live 20 minutes south of Steubenville, Ohio...small world.
via Facebook
That's for posting that news, it's interesting to know.
via Facebook
So she didn't even make it to her 103rd birthday then so she was not 103 when the picture was taken.
via Facebook
We need to keep in mind that, until the 1920s-30s, many many people did not know their true date of birth. There really wasn't much need to know and keep track of age.
Similarly, the spelling of surnames - by the people themselves - was often incorrect. Christine's maiden name was spelled both Rider and Ryder, and her married name spelled both Fisher and Fischer. One of my great great grandfathers Civil War service records consist of about 8 pages, and his surname was spelled 5 different ways!

Winnie Bryant Allen I think the post was talking about her getting to live in three centuries.

My mom's maiden name Donnell had many spellings through the years , Mick Burdge !! McDonald , Mac Donald , McDonnell , McDonell , O' Donnell , etc !!

Actually , the Donnell's came over from Scotland / Ireland a few years before she was born and lived in Delaware and Pennsylvania , they may have known her !! Haha

Thank you for the info Mick ~ I have Ryder in my line in Franklin County Pa & found this interesting

Mick Burdge Yeah its crazy with the names. For the longest time i couldnt find some relatives, and found out that back then alot of them went by there middle name. I dont get it.

From a 2004 newsletter, her name was Christina Ryder Fisher, born May 11, 1796 in Connellsville, PA to William & Elizabeth Ryder. Sadly, she did not live to 1900 as she died on April 5, 1899 in Steubenville, OH.

My grandma was born in 1900 and passed away in 2000. Sharp as a tack until the end. She lived on her own until 3 months before she passed. She did everything herself except drive. She was amazing!

My grandma was born in 1901 and passed in 2004 a month after her 103rd birthday. Your grandma sounds a lot like mine, mine only required nursing home care the last 6 months of her life. I miss her ❤️

I miss my grandma and my mom. My grandma had 7 children and 33 grandchildren.

My grandma was born in 1900 and lived til May 2004, 4 months before her B'day. She gave up her drivers license age 96 when she moved in with my aunt. She had gotten a notice at 95 from her ins company to get a physical. She passed but was concerned about driving. So she volutarily took her driving test and passed. Even though she had been blind in one eye since she was 4. She was very proud of that...lol... I just am amazed at the history our grandma's witnessed in their lifetimes. From riding horses and buggies to space travel....amazing!

She looks like my great grandma Tarr. She was deaf and had her trusty corn knife on her lap. Everybody would make sure she SAW you coming because she would pull out her knife if you surprised her and subsequently she would surprise you right back!

i hope she made it in to the 1900's she look as if she was A Holy woman i love to hear about these folks and their live's that is so very very different from ours ...

Sadly, she didn't make it to 1900. She died in April, 1899. Probably not too much longer after the photo was taken.

My family Bible was lost-I remember there was a part to write down all the families birth and death,pictures and all and with golden edges. I wish I would of listened to my grandmothers stories,but I was a teenager and never sat by her and heard her stories. Of course I missed out on that when I turned 19 and she passed away. She was full-blood Native American and had a rough life being so poor,but made it to her 80`s and got sick with cancer. I would only hear bits and pieces later on about how they put the Native children in Indian schools and my grandma was one. Told how she was hit with a "stick"-which probably means ruler,on the hands if she spoke Native language by nuns. She had enough in 3rd grade and wouldn`t go back to school anymore. From then on,all her life she never learned to write and refused to after that. I`m sure she had lots of stories too and remember her talking in a very soft voice. Too late to listen now,but a great chance to listen to the elder stories and not forget what they say about our past. Don`t know if I`d want to live as long as this lady in today`s age,but everybody has to struggle somewhere in life to survive..the Bible was very important in them days when this lady had hardships as the Bible is important today. Today seems more evil though and got people turned away from it too much now.

If any of you would have researched this story...you would have known she died in the fall of 1900 ..So yes she made it to 3 centuries
via Facebook
yes what times she would have seen... Arent we so lucky now we don't have to continually be dressed up in dresses, neck to knee, with girdles etc... What a wonderful old lady... just shows you, no fast food, no soft drinks people... just good plain food.... hmmmm

I didn't see that Mich had looked her up - found that exact info. But she was 103, how much time do you want?
via Facebook
Is she missing part of her left arm? Kinda appears that way the way this photo is. Maybe I'm just blind.
via Facebook
The way she's sitting she may have had a stroke that affected that left side

She'll have lived through your civil war then? Imagine everything she saw 'in her lifetime?' amazing!

Yeah Anneke the Boston tea party era and mad king George.
To think this photograph when taken at a time of either Roosevelt(senior not Franklin D) or Woodrow Wilson maybe 'who was in the Whitehouse?'
And a world just moving through the industrial revolution and the Victorian era and Jack the rippers dark epilogue was about to give birth to the twentieth century ' plus 2 world wars and the coldwar?
I'm fascinated by how we evolve from riding on horses then within 60 years can land on the moon? History and how these great leaps forward happen?
I mean that blows me away!

My Grandma was born in 1902 and died in 2002. She had lovely stories to tell. She met Jessie James, rode on a train to the west coast, found sea shells in north Kansas. They are amazing women these ancestors of ours.

I wish someone had written her stories down. I would loved to have talked to her. She helped make this country. Yes back then the food did not have the garbage in their food we have. You see that Bible in her lap she lived by it. Praise God for wonderful women and men like her. Thanks to the family that shared this.

I found her listed on the WorldConnect website... She died 5 APR 1899 in Steubenville,Jefferson County,Ohio ()

Her husband, Thomas Michael (Mikel) Fisher was the grandson of one Baron Ludwig Von Fischer. The Baron and his son John (father of Christine Rider Ryder's husband Michael) came to America after being exiled from Bavaria "for killing a deer in the Royal Park."
He brought with him, his only son, Johannus (John), locating at a little town called Germana, nor far from Winchester, Virginia. He died in 1777 in Madison County, Va.
Johannus Christopher Fischer was born 24 Dec. 1756 in Bavaria.
According to the information on the following webpage, "Years ago the heirs of Ludwig Von Fischer had prospect of a settlement of a loan to the German government, made by Baron Fisher's father to the German Government, of eighty million dollars. The sum represented principal & interest. At that time there were five hundred heirs in this country..."

I see so many long lifers doing genealogy that is spite of what our government says about our generation living longer and thereby raising retirement age, I don't believe that's true. If you take out deaths by wars and early childhood/childbirth then it is a different picture.
via Facebook
Seriously? Whether you "take out" death by wars and early childhood/childbirth or not, people live longer than they did. That is a fact.
Quite apart from the fact that wars previously killed millions of civilians AND soldiers and childhood mortality in Western nations has been greatly reduced, the measure of the length of lives is measured on the percentage of adults reaching a great age. People do live longer.

Like expectancy had NOT decreased. It has increased. I have no idea where people get the idea that it has decreased. Statistics are very clear in that matter.

Various charts showing that life expectancy has increased, not decreased. Feel free to post evidence of the contrary (from credible sources).

All I can tell you is sit back and watch and I sincerely hope you are correct. I am by profession as RN and haven't seen an increase at all in the past 40 years and have been dealing with death and the dying since 1978. None of the statistics are valid. In order to raise retirement age for social security the government had to scrape up something. Why do you think they left their fat pensions at 55? Because they know better. A recent Huffington Post article says if this is true we will all be living to be 115 this decade so I hope you are right. I don't have a computer and not that interested in this as I already know it is invalid as are most statistics. I took statistics, I know the reality. Research " Bread is dangerous" to understand how anything can be proved or disproved with statistics.

1796: Washington was President.
The Jay Treaty of 1794 (or "Jay's Treaty") between the US and Britain came into effect. It resolved issues that had arisen from the Treaty of Paris and averted another war between Britain and the US.
The first "quadrennial" (4 years) election was held.
The first "contested" Presidential election (where there were candidates from other parties and where the outcome was not a foregone conclusion) took place. Washington had refused a third term.
The first and only election where President and Vice President were from opposing parties (John Adams, Federalist and Thomas Jefferson, Republican). John Adams elected as President, Thomas Jefferson elected VP.
Electors cast two votes in the election, one for President and one for VP (though did not state for which position). The candidate with the most votes was elected President and the one with the second highest became VP, even if BOTH candidates had been voted for as VP...
Tennessee had been admitted to the Union.
The Treaty of Tripoli was signed.
The "Panic of 1796-1797" (a financial crisis affecting Britain and the United States) was in full swing. The first "burst financial bubble" since the US came into being.
