LOS ANGELES, California (UP) – Capt. John Alden Howell will observe his 104th birthday tomorrow with the same philosophy of life that he developed when he was a boy, riding beside “Stonewall” Jackson in the Civil War.
He said:
If you want to be 104, make the 23rd Psalm part of your daily life, eat three square meals a day, keep your chin up and your temper under control.
Capt. Howell is reported to be the oldest living officer of the Confederate Army, the oldest retired lawyer and the oldest Freemason in America.
