The Muncie Daily News of August 13, 1880, published a list of old folks in the county as found in the federal census enumerations for that year. While sorted by township in the original article, they are listed here alphabetically. The rest of the published article remains verbatim as are the spellings used. Not all townships were included and no follow-up article was found.

"Thinking it would be a matter of general interest to know how many persons in Delaware County had reached the ripe old age of three-score and ten, a News reporter who had access to the books of the enumerators, prepared the following list of old people, giving names, age and township in which they reside:"
