Lon was a first cousin to my maternal grandmother. The sole contact we had with him was shortly after we found he was still living, my mother sent him a birthday card and he responded:
"104 was fine. Looking forward to 105. Walk downtown everyday so I don't forget how."
Family lore said he gave up his driver's license at 99 when his favorite fishing hole was paved over.
They had 3 known children, I do not have a location for these two: Edgar William Bills born WV 3-2-1898 died Riverside CA 12-17-1971
Walter Bills born WV 7-23-1901 died CA 2-7-1991
Note: His claimed age is true: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/sources/LC7S-5M8
