Well, there are highs and lows when it comes to being known a century later.

From my hometown I think there are two past living things that people are aware of a century later.

First is Alfred Nobel of the Nobel Prize, no further explanation needed I guess.

The second is a circus horse that I couldn't explain why people care about 100 years later even if I tried.

If I'm remembering correctly, the circus horse invented dynamite.
