Sunday, January 18, 2004
Mattie Ross's 101st birthday was Saturday, and she's still going strong. The Daily Mail caught up with her at Moore-Few Care Center on Thursday, when she was looking forward to getting some fried chicken, one of her favorite meals. Ross was born in Linneus, Mo. in 1903, and was nearly a year old when Wilber and Orville Wright took their historic flight in Kitty Hawk, N.C.
