De Solis cardinal 110 Seville

Spain 2/1786

At the extraordinary age of 110 years, 8 months and 14 days, in the full enjoyment of every faculty except strength and the quickness of hearing, Cardinal De Solis, archbishop of Seville. He used to tell his friends, when asked what regimes he observed, “By being old when I was young, I find myself young now that I am old. I led a sober, studious but not a lazy or sedentary life. My diet was sparing, though delicate; my liquors the best wines of Xerez and La Mancha, of which I never exceeded a pint at any meal, except in cold weather, when I allowed myself a third more. I rode or walked every day, except in rainy weather, when I exercised for a couple of hours. So far I took care of my body and as to my mind, I endeavoured to preserve it in due temper by a scrupulous obedience to the Divine commands, and keeping (as the Apostles directs) a conscience void of offence towards God and man. By these innocent means I have arrived at the age of a patriarch with less injury to my health and constitution than many experience at forty. I am now, like the ripe corn, ready for the sickle of death, and, by the mercy of my Redeemer, have strong hopes of being translated into his garner.”

“Glorious old age!” said the King of Spain; “Would to Heaven he had appointed a successor; for the people of Seville have been for so long used to excellence, they will never be satisfied with the best prelate I can find them.”

The cardinal was of a noble house in the province of Andalucia and the last surviving son of Don Antonio de Solis,


historiographer to Philip IV and author of the Conquest of Mexico.

He was an instance that length of days is not always intailed on a life of temperance and sobriety; for no man made freer with his bottle than he did, even till within ten years of his death.

Tinker. This miracle of longevity retained his senses almost to the last hour of his life. He remembered distinctly to have seen king William’s fleet, when on their way to Ireland, riding at anchor in the Solway Firth, close by the Bay of Kirkcudbright, and the transports lying in the harbour. He was present at the siege of Derry, where he lost his uncle, who commanded a king’s frigate, he returned home, enlisted in the Dutch service, went to Holland, and soon after deserted and came back to his native country. Naturally of a wandering and unsettled turn of mind, he could never remain long in any particular place. Hence he took up the occupation of a tinker, headed a large body of lawless banditti, and frequently traversed the kingdom from one end to the other. But it is to be observed to his credit, that of all the thievish wandering geniuses, who during the weakness of the established government led forth their various gangs to plunder, and to alarm the country, he was by far the most honourable of his profession.

He always enjoyed the best state of health and it is not unlikely that he might have lived some years longer, had it not been for a fall, in which one of his legs was broken in three places, which occasioned his death. He had all his teeth and all his hair, a few of which only were grown grey; and he enjoyed all his faculties to the last. This old man is proof that an advanced age is not confined to the northern climates.

England 12/1768

At Leeds after having completed his 114th year, Robert Ogleby, the noted tinker. It appears by his register that he was born in Rippon the 16th November 1654; to corroborate which, his own account of himself is, that he was put apprentice in 1688 to one Sellers, a brazier in York, when he was 14; served him 7 years in that capacity and two years more as journeyman; then he began business for himself at Ripon, which he carried on 5 years and failed; after which he went to Hull and wrought journey work there 4 years when he entered into king James’s service; was sent with the regiment into Ireland, where he changed his master and was among the number of those who fought under king William at the battle of the Boyne in 1690 where he saw the duke of Schomberg fall. He served about 23 years longer in the army in different places and was discharged after the treaty of Utrecht; but having neither wounds not infirmities to plead for him, he got no pension; so he resumed his old trade, or rather took up the new one of traveling brazier, which he continued till four years of his death. And, at the amazing age of 100 would carry his budget 20 miles in a winter day and do his business with as much alacrity as any other man of 50. But he soon after grew infirm and was obliged to give up the itinerant trade he


had carried on for 50 years and take to begging.

He watched its infancy with solicitude and observed its increasing spirit with pleasure. He founded Savannah and when the Spaniards attempted to invade that settlement, he beat them from the fort they took possession of and rescued the province

A girl, about 12 years old, read the burial service, and afterwards, on the tomb, delivered a sermon on the occasion from Micah vii. 8, 9, before at least 2,000 auditors, whom curiosity had led to see this extraordinary funeral.

Farmer. He was thought to be the fattest man in England weighing, four or five weeks before his death, 40 stone and 9 pounds.

He was drawn to the churchyard in the cart he used to ride in. His coffin was made much longer than his body on purpose to give the bearers room to carry him from the cart to the church and from thence to the grave. Thirteen men carried him, six at each side and one at the head. His fatness, some years ago, saved his life; for being at Atherstone market, and some difference arising between him and a Jew, the Jew stabbed him in the belly with a pen knife; but the blade, being short, did not pierce his bowels, or even pass through the fat which defended them

lady how handsome he looked (which was the case,

considering he was 103) he replied “I thank you for the

compliment madam, but what would you have said if you had

seen me 100 years ago?” He still continued his pleasantry, for

he told them when they were taking him from his bed “They

were carrying him to Rumford to have his backside

newbottomed”. His illness was a fever in which he lay about

fourteen days.

Worcestershire England 5/1774

He was born in 1649 in the protectorship of Oliver Cromwell. A younger brother of his, William Tice, died about 20 years ago aged 102, at Kidderminster in Worcestershire. Both of these brothers retained every faculty till the last, except John, who had the misfortune, about 40 years ago, to have both legs broke by a tree falling on him; and a violent cold that settled in his head rendered him very deaf. About three years ago, sitting by his fireside alone he was seized with a fainting fit, fell into the fire, and being a cripple, could not help himself out again, but a person providentially coming into the room saved him, otherwise he would have perished, and though he was terribly burnt by this misfortune, yet with proper care in a short time he recovered and went his walks into the fields as usual. But the greatest misfortune that could befall him and which he could not long survive was the death of his only friend Lord Lyttleton; after which period he never left his room till his death.
