Now the last living member of his family, Wilmer Flickenger, born in a log house in South Bend Township on Sept. 20, 1885, will celebrate his 98th birthday. His secret to living such a long life? "Wine!" exclaimed the retired farmer.

"I used to suffer from indigestion, and a friend told me to drink a glass of wine before breakfast. (He claims he has no problems since.) One quart lasts me a month so that's not too bad!" Flickenger, who seems to be a great believer in home remedies, also told of an arthritis remedy shared by a neighbor. He said that a neighbor told him to carry small potatoes in the back pockets of his pants to- cure his arthritis. Flickenger maintains the potatoes, which flatten out to look like and feel i like sma'll stones, have relieved him of arthritic pains Jf WlLMfcn 98 years old Death William Earl Geiger William Earl Geiger, 62 a retired employe of Pullman Standard at Butler, died unexpectedly Monday morning at his Apollo RD 3 i i i a i home.
