Parser,
I have switched to another computer and, for the time being, do not have the program that I used to diagram. I'll have to look into getting it again.
In any case, you certainly have come up with interesting examples of syntax.
I am not sure what I would do with that one. What do YOU think?

This may be a cop out, but I think that I would treat the sentence as if it read "He died very violently." Both "aged" and "101" could be said to answer "how". By that thinking, "101" modifies " aged" and "aged" modifies "died".
I must get a way to Reed-Kellogg. I feel silly without it.
Have YOU ever looked into getting " Smart Draw 7 Suite Addition"? I have it on two of my computers, but one I had to leave in school (I am retired) and the other I am not currently using.
