Could this be for real? One hundred and TWO years old?

My grandmother's cousins were Zudie Tison and Addie Shelfer. Their mother was Emma Butler. My grandmother's mother was Sallie Ada Butler. I don't know who Emma married, but I know her two daughters were Zudie and Addie. I don't know if Tison and Shelfer are maiden names or not. Ohhhh, this is soooo frustrating!

I found an Addie Shelfer, b 22 Jun 1884 and d Nov 1986 in zip 32701. I know this cousin Addie lived in Orlando, so this is making sense. But 102 years old and change?! This is incredible.

Why didn't she make the news or something? An obituary? Hellooo?


ADDING a quick note on 5/30/2010. Addie really did live to be 102 years old! She never had children. Shelfer was her married name. Her sister Zudie had married twice, once to a Fields who already had two children. Zudie and Elwynn had two more children. Then Zudie married a Tison with whom she had a daughter June. Their maiden name was Johnson. Their mother Emma Butler was Sallie Ada Butler's sister.
