This Office had the pleasure of a call last
Wednesday from Mr.. Hiram Lightner,
who resided in this county for nearly fifty
years, but who has been living at Mafa,
Texas, for about twenty-five years. He
was born in Lancaster, Pa, in 1917, and
came to this county with his father and
mother when he was only two years old,
landing with them at Mt. Vernon, in what
was then known as Lillard county. He is
therefore in all probability the Oldest Iiv-
ing first settler of this county. He says
that the reason why the name of Lillard
was not retained by one of the counties
that Lillard rendered himself unpop-
ular with the old settlers by some of his
acts and then returned TO Virginia and
die there. MIR. Lig htner is stopping with
his BON, J. Ii. LIghtner. near Napoleon. |
