Remarkable Virginia Centenarian Nancy Kelly on Hog Island
Nancy Kelly, aged 100, oldest on Virginia's eastern shore, celebrated at Hog Island with dinner for family and friends.

She has never taken medicine, never left Hog Island, and has never seen a trolley or steam car, yet is regarded as one of the most remarkable persons of her time.
