  Notes	Stated to be 101 years old on death but maybe closer to 95 Hat tip to Maxine Richards for passing on this tid-bit from Willis's Current Notes of 1856 MINE HOST OF THE BLUE BOAR. The following instance of longevity may possibly be deemed worthy recording in the pages of Current Notes. Mr. Joseph Howes, remembered by many here as formerly mine host of the Blue Boar and Wellington Castle Inns, lived to be the oldest inhabitant in Leicester, but more recently resided at Evington Lodge, near this town, highly respected by a large circle of friends. He died in December, 1853, aged 102. Leicester, March 8. William Kelly.
