George Edward Niswonger of Poplar Bluff will celebrate his 92nd birthday Wednesday.
He was born Sept. 1, 1929, in Arkansas. Asked about the secret to his longevity, Niswonger says, “Trust the man upstairs and do unto others.”
Niswonger and his wife, Mable, lived in Illinois before settling into retirement in this area more than 30 years ago. They have been married more than 70 years.
The Niswongers have raised six children, Glen, who passed away in 2017, Sharon, Jerry, Pat, George Jr. and Pam. They have also been blessed with 19 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren, plus three great-grandsons.
