Ohio Women Turn 104 Just 3 Days Apart

[March 01, 2008]  MIDDLETOWN, Ohio (AP) -- Birthday candles may be in short supply in Middletown, where two, unrelated women have turned 104 just three days apart. Marjorie Hunt celebrated her big birthday Monday in the southwest Ohio city, at the retirement community where she lives.

At another, Hazel Carter marked her 104th birthday on Thursday.

Carter once taught in a one-room schoolhouse, served in the Army during World War II and worked as an executive secretary for more than 40 years before retiring way back when she was 65.

Hunt is a reverse snowbird. She had lived in Florida for 30 years before coming back to Ohio.
