Irish World Aug 20 1898 ROBERT TAYLOR, postmaster of Scarva, popularly known as "the old man of Scarva," died lately. Taylor's age is problematical, the most modest estimate putting it at 119 years, while others, apparently as well founded, to to show that he was upward of 130. This is by far the greatest record, and with Taylor's death, there parses away the most remarkable instance of longevity in this century. Up till the last deceased maintained wonderful vitality. He held the postmastership of Scarva to the last, and though naturally frail, was this Spring in good health and spirits.
