Hale at ninety nine keeps quietly to nature in capital
The Capital’s oldest citizen Dr. William Starr, born October 14 1607 at Bull Run Virginia, lives in seclusion at 79 G Street NW near seven and G. He has avoided liquor tobacco and medicine relying on nature. He fought in the Mexican Seminole and Civil wars, endured sixteen wounds, and credits simple living as his secret to longevity while his family history reads long and botanist.
