OOTD has a special fondness for those who have seen 19 presidents come and go…including all three U.S. Senators who have ever reached the Oval Office (Harding, JFK, and Obama).

Irma Schmidt, 112, of Tolland was believed to be the oldest person and registered voter in Connecticut. She first cast a ballot in Ohio for Republican presidential candidate William G. Harding in 1920, soon after women received full voting rights. Schmidt died on July 25.
