Completely unsourced biography of a person with no obvious notability claim. The strongest claim here (that he lived to be 114 years old) isn't an instant notability freebie in the absence of reliable sources, particularly because it deeply strains the bounds of credibility in the absence of really solid genealogical verification, and other than that his notability boils down to "he did some local-interest stuff". Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass WP:GNG on his sourceability — in fact, I was sorely tempted to just speedy it for lacking any properly verified notability claims at all, but it's been flying under the radar for almost 15 years and I don't feel comfortable speedying an article that old without discussion.
