Waldo McBurney
Ralph Waldo McBurney (October 3, 1902 – July 8, 2009), usually known as Waldo, was said to be the oldest worker in the United States. Until a relatively short time before his death at age 106, he lived and worked as a beekeeper in the city of Quinter, Kansas. Although he was born in Quinter and had lived in the Quinter area for many years,〔McBurney, Charles and Beth. ''Reformed Presbyterian Ministers 1950-1993''. Pittsburgh: Crown and Covenant, 1994, pp. 105-106.〕 he had also lived near the Kansas cities of Sterling〔McBurney, R. Waldo. ''My First 100 Years''. Leewood: Leathers, 2004, page 4.〕 and Beloit.〔Smith, Alvin W. ''Covenanter Ministers 1930-1963''. Pittsburgh: Reformed Presbyterian Church, 1964, page 119.〕 In his last years, he was recognized nationwide for his longevity.〔(Waldo McBurney dies at 106 ), KSNW, 2009-07-10. Accessed 2009-07-26.〕
==Personal life==
He was the third of six children born to George R. and Mary B. (Huston) McBurney.〔 After two years at Sterling College, he transferred to the Kansas State Agricultural College (now Kansas State University), from which he graduated in 1927. Two years later, he married the former Irene Spear; together, they had three children. After her death in 1960, he married the former Vernice Forman in 1962, twelve years younger than he; she is still living.〔(Quinter man keeping active lifestyle ), ''The Hays Daily News'', 2007-09-26. Accessed 2007-10-09.〕 He suffered a heart attack in 1994,〔McBurney, R. Waldo. ''My First 100 Years''. Leewood: Leathers, 2004, pages 54-57.〕 but continued competing afterward. He died at the Gove County Medical Center in Quinter on July 8, 2009.〔〔(Waldo McBurney, oldest U.S. worker, 106 ), Associated Press via ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', 2009-07-13. Accessed 2009-07-15.〕
McBurney served as an elder in the Quinter congregation of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America,〔''Minutes of Synod and Yearbook of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America 2005''. Pittsburgh: Crown and Covenant, 2006, page 190.〕 and his father and his son Kenneth (who survived him) both served as ministers in the same denomination. His father, too, was long-lived, being the oldest minister in the denomination at his death.〔
