EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, taken in May 1991, we see the remarkable Catherine Trevail at the age of 106. Believed to be the oldest person in Cornwall at that time, Mrs. Trevail radiates wisdom and grace as she proudly displays her card from Queen Elizabeth II. Surrounded by love and admiration, Catherine shares this special moment with Ivan and Sue Rabey, the Mayor and Mayoress of Restormel. Having spent most of her life in Luxulyan before moving to Fowey to live with her daughter 23 years ago, this birthday celebration is a testament to a life well-lived. Joining Mrs. Trevail on this joyous occasion are her two daughters, devoted son, nine grandchildren, and an impressive count of 12 great-grandchildren. Their presence serves as a testament to the lasting impact Catherine has had on generations within her family. Captured by photographer Jonathan Barker for eternity, this photograph encapsulates not only the milestone achieved by Catherine but also represents resilience and strength throughout one's lifetime. It reminds us all that age is just a number when it comes to cherishing moments with loved ones. This print holds immense historical value for its depiction of Cornwall's oldest resident during that era while showcasing the power of familial bonds that transcend time.
