: How old was Harry Yont when he died?
Good question Caitlin and Miranda!!! Harry's birthdate is unconfirmed, but historians believe that 1837 is most accurate. Physical evidence of aging and folks who knew him from Wheatland, Wyoming (about 70 miles north of Cheyenne, Wyoming) who say that "he was born in the same year as Grover Cleveland. Harry's date of death was confirmed to be just after noon on May 16, 1924. That would have made him 87 years old.
