Detail: 

The Oldest Democrat – The oldest living Democrat is thought to be Mr. David Irwin of Byron Centre, Michigan. He is 102 years of age, was in the Mexican war, and the civil war of this country, and he attended the G.A.R. reunion at Chicago last week. He is described as being vigorous, not very gray headed, and as walking with elastic step. Of course, he reads without the aid of glasses; he always does. We are not told as to whether he has abstained from the use of liquor; perhaps his politics is considered to be sufficient certificate that he has not. The old gentleman is a lawyer, and continues in the practice of that profession. He is able to recognize his party, notwithstanding the changes that it has undergone during the period that he has belonged to it.
