Mary Laughead of Illinois Celebrates Her 111th Birthday
Mary Laughead, a resident of Palestine, Illinois, USA, celebrated her 111th birthday on 3 May. Her birthdate was confirmed by Jesse Walker, Chief Meteorologist at WTWO-TV, in a post on his Facebook page.
Mary Amelia Laughead was born in Flat Rock, Illinois, on 3 May 1914 in a house built by her parents. She worked as a secretary at an insurance company, and would also support her husband on their farm whenever she could. A keen traveller, Laughead visited every U. S. state except North Dakota, driving in a hand-cranked Ford. She witnessed the building of Route 1, distinctly recollecting the explosions made when creating the roadway.
Laughead lived independently until the age of 105 in the house she was born in, at which point she moved into an assisted living facility.
