Centerian Nancy French Lives On in York Township Century
Nancy French, Thomson York township’s oldest resident, enjoys vitality after living in Carroll County for decades. Born in New York, she traveled west via Erie Canal and oxen drawn boats, recalls Civil War era memories, loves cinema, and plans radio broadcasts from station W C C. Her autobiography is in progress with daughter Mrs. Louis Ripple, as she savors living well past one hundred with faculties intact.
