When Aunt Vi was born in 1907

The year Aunt Violet was born, 1097:

Unemployment was 2.8%
First class postage stamp was 2 cents
Nobel Prize in Literature went to Rudyard Kipling
President--Theodore Roosevelt
Population 87,008,000
Oklahoma become 46th state
Radiometric dating finds the earth to be 2.2 billion years old
The Ziegfeld Follies ate introduced
The divorce rate was about .9%
Aunt Vi's life expectancy was 53 years old
The biggest killer was tuberculous, followed by cancers, heart disease, and the flu; (though different sites say it was the Flu, TB, Diarrhea, and heart disease)
