BLACK Tom, who on Sunday next viii
celebrate the one hundredth anniversary
of his birth at his little thatched roof
shanty on the east bank Of the Haclen-
sack, short distance south Of the Snake
Hill quarries.
BLACK Tom was born in 1902. the ex

brates his birthday on the earliest pos
sible Sunday Of the year that majority
Of his many descendants can find il con-
venient to gather in the little old cabin
that he has called home" for one-half
a century.
BLACK Toms" name is Thomas Thomp-
son. but comparatively few, even of the
oldest residents of the county, know him
by anything but his sobriquet. He IS
great, great, great-grandfather and has
nearly 100 descendents living. They are
scattered all over the country and their
centenarian ancestor has lost all track of
many Of them, but enough remain in this
vicinity to make the annual celebration
of Black Toms birth a fairly well attend-s
ed affair.
Black Toms wife died eight years ago
at the age of 90, and his daughter. Becky,
was seventy-five when she left this mortal
sphere OF his descende nts the only ones
living with him now are a great-grand-
daughter, who is forty years of age. and
