I have found that the photograph and description was on Page 10 of the Belfast Telegraph on 27 March 1923.
Charles Moan was baptised in Derrynoose around 1835 to Neal Moan and Mary McCabe. The picture shown was in a newspaper on 27 March 1923 with the caption: "Charlie Mone, the veteran stone-booker employed by the Armagh County Council at their quarries, New Holland, Keady, County Armagh. Charlie, as he is familiarly known, will be 96 years old next November. For the past 26 years he has never had a days illness, and has not missed a single hour from his pitch in the quarry during that time."
I'm not sure which newspaper it was in, but I'm lead to believe that it was a Belfast paper. There were a number of obituaries on back, and there was a reference to Mater Infirmorum, which I believe was a hospital there at that time.
Thank you,
Patrick Mone
