first question is what was the life expectancy in the late 1800's.  Did

Average life expectancy was much less in the 19th Century, but I believe

that was primarily because of the high rate of childhood deaths. Persons

who survived to adulthood frequently lived beyond 70 or 80, and had a life

expectancy not too much less than that of 20th Century adults.
