Niverville’s Oldest Resident Celebrates Birthday in Style

Jacob Falk of Niverville, now 103, celebrates another milestone. Niverville’s oldest resident, Jacob Falk, turned 103 on June 26 and his family marked the occasion by throwing him a party worthy of a man celebrating more than a century of life. The extended Falk clan gathered at Whitetail Meadow on his birthday, with all his children in attendance as well as most of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was very pleased when Dave Neufeld, one of the owners of Whitetail Meadow, personally came by to wish him a happy birthday. The Mennonite Central Committee sponsored the Falk family, which allowed them to settle on a farm near Niverville.
