A 124-Year-Old Father in Scotland

The following interesting item was sent to us by Brother T. D. Wallar: Mrs. M. E. Johnson, of the Seventh-day Adventist church of Joplin, Mo., is now in her eightieth year, and is the youngest of eleven children, all of whom are living. Their father, James P. MacAlhana, is also living, in Aberdeen, Scotland, North Heights, at the age of one hundred and twenty-four years. A short time ago Sister Johnson received a letter from him, in which he told her that he had “done three Scotch miles” the day that he wrote the letter. Sister Johnson has twin sons living who are nearly sixty years old.
