Beckley Man Celebrates a Hundred Years

Posted: Updated:

A Raleigh County man celebrates his 100th birthday in Beckley on Saturday.

Woodrow Wilson Naff was born in 1912, the same year the Oreo was invented and the Titanic sank.

On Saturday, he celebrated with friends and family at the Country Inn and Suites on Harper Road, where Mayor Emmett Pugh presented Naff with a key to the city.

"Be good and take care of yourself. Love your neighbor like you would love yourself. I think that's important. Give to others like you'd give to yourself," said Naff on what he has learned over the years.

Another interesting fact about Naff is he is named after Woodrow Wilson, who was president at the time of his birth.
