Nearly 100

Lincoln Journal Star (NE), 23 Sep 1927
The clipping above on Harriet Wickersham Oyler includes some references to the family of husband Daniel Oyler, a son of George Oyler (my 4th-great-grandfather). At the time, Harriet had 144 living descendants in Nebraska. The article says Daniel came to Cincinnati my steamer and later made his way to Indiana. He likely went to Tippecanoe County, Indiana due to others in the Oyler family who had moved there after immigrating from England. There he met Harriet and they were married in 1847.

Here's another article showing a five generation photo, published in the Lincoln Star on 31 July 1927.
