INDEPENDENT MCPHERSON.
Life of AN Old Denizcn of the Cypress
swamp.

Wlcomico Record.
Living near Pittsviile, this county, is
man named William Nickerson, who is n
years of age, having been born in 1908.
At an early age he began shingle making
in the great cypress swamp of that
section, at time when bears and other
wild animals roamed through its sombre
shades. During his long life he has
never been further away from home than
Salisbury, now the shire town of Wicomico
county, some 12 miles from his residence.
He has been married twice and has raised
family of eight or nine children, who
have oil left the old man, as also has his
last wife; yet still contented and happy
lie follows the trade of his youth, i'll the
sere and yellow of age.
II is his boast that during his long life,
extending beyond the usual time allotted
to man, he has never been possessor of
$40 in money at one time, nor has ever
owned horse, mule or cow, sheep or
hog. He has never owned any land or
plid any taxes. Landlords have never
Ind any terror. for him, he never having
rented habitation, but always lived in
His own house. He has had the mis-
fortune to hnvo been burnt out three
times, once losing all his furniture, tools,
and in fact all of his earthly possessions,
amounting in value to about $50 (Which
WIS large estimate), but sphinx like, he
came forth and out of the ashes of his
burnt possessions, plucked success, and
soon had where to lay his head. On one
occasion, when rebuilding, he went to the
store of Richie Fooks, now deceased, ai
Pittsville, and bought one pound of mills
remarlsing that he had already used two
pounds and that the expense of building
was very heavy. He has always built OF
what he claimed was vacant land, stayet
as long ns he wanted, and then like the
''Aral,n folded his tent and departed fol
other lands. His present abode is bull
on vacant land (2) by planting two up
right crutches in the soil and laying I
pole across them and covering them witt
slabs, the whole having the appearance o
wooden tent. He has been extremel.
fortunate in having good health, neve
having had necessity for doctor TO
himself and to-day is MS sturdy, active
healthy man ls can be found in thi
county at his age, and is happy and con
tented.
