In 1897, in the year that Will F Kissick was born, on September 21st, editor and publisher Francis P. Church responded to a letter to the editor from Virginia O'Hanlon, 8 years old. Virginia's father had told her that "If you see it in The Sun, it's so." So she wrote to the Sun, asking if there was a Santa Claus. Church responded with the now famous editorial "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus".

In 1905, he was just 8 years old when acclaimed dancer Isadora Duncan established the first school of modern dance in Berlin Germany.

Her focus on the movement of the human body rather than formal kinds of dance helped to give rise to the modern dance movement.

In 1950, by the time he was 53 years old, on October 2, Charlie Brown appeared in the first Peanuts comic strip - created by Charles Schultz - and he was the only character in that strip. That year, Schultz said that Charlie was 4 years old, but Charlie aged a bit through the years.
