Civil War Veteran, 96, Refuses to Quit Tobacco

John H. Winder, a 96 year old Civil War veteran from Vineland New Jersey, has chewed tobacco most of his life and says it is too late to quit. He attributes longevity to good luck and maintains a strict routine of rising and retiring at 7:30 each day, along with long walks for health. He served 14 months with the Union in Virginia and North Carolina and was never wounded.
