Valley Springs Linked to Century-Long Health Luck
In Makanda Illinois Wayman Presley a 7 year old retiree speculates that Water Valley and Pleasant Ridge springs may explain unusually long lives in residents dating back to the 1800s. He cites 24 couples and 48 people all living past 76 with few divorces and a school expansion due to abundant children. Local residents Grover Landis and relatives note long lifespans and a family reunion with many seniors, while Presley links mineral-rich limestone springs to health, urging scientific study.
