Turnbull, John

A Conundrum.
In another column is reported the death of Mr. John Turnbull, one of the oldest settlers of the county, and one of the first public school teachers of Esquesing. The first anniversary of his birth did not occur until he was eight years of age. Can any of our youthful readers explain this strange fact? Could the same thing have occurred in the case of any person born in any other year in the world's history? Mr. Turnbull was in his 89th year of age.
