Thornton and his buckets centuries apart in one man
Obed Thornton of Arcade New York celebrated his hundredth birthday while his two maple sap buckets, made in 1819, remain in use marking a lifetime since he first crafted them at age twenty five. He emigrated from New Hampshire to Wyoming County in 1818 on an ox team and settled on his farm. He still travels on foot to visit his old home and has endured the test of time with strong teeth and hearing. He recalls tobacco smoke easing a dental ache seen as a strange remedy.
