The DEMOCRAT was the recipient of
a call from one of its readers, Mrs.
Christiana Massey, who is now 9S years
of age, and has been a citizen Of a half
dozen states and pioneer to several Of
them before they were states. She came
to Arkansas in 1859 on the Arkansas
Traveller" which sunk below Little
Rock. She was especially pleased that
she was SO on the very day Cleveland
was inaugurated President, because she
Is am old Jeffersonian or rather jack
sonian democrat, and wanted it distinct
ly understood that in politics she was
no b. of F. She was in Tenn, and saw
Gen. Jackson muster In his troops for |
the war in '36, and therefore claims the
Jacksonian rather than the Jeffersoni- |
an stripe of democracy. She is the |
mother of 10 children, 8 boys and 10
girls which are scattered TO the four
winds, and had 10 grand children be-
fore the war but cannot enumerate
them now. This matriarch was born
in Person county, N. c., from whence
she made her way to Arkansas, and is
now a resident of Clark township. She
is widow and has been since 1868
lives at home and boards at the same
place and never saw the time when she
needed bread. She was as jovial and
full of life as though she hadn't seen
the summers of 9S years pass over her
head. She is the Oldest inhabitant we
suppose in Pope county.
