MAN, 101 YEARS OLD,
TRAVELS TO BUXTON

Buxton, Sept. 5.-William Harrell,
1O1 years old, has arrived here coming
from his old home in Castle, N. c.,
to visit his son. Harrell made the long
Journey by himself and said that he
experienced no difficulty in any way.
Harrell was a slave for fifty-one years
before the war, having but three mas
tiers in that number OF years. When
he was sold the last time the purchase
price was $1,000. He was with the
confederate army for a time as cook
and saw several stirring engagements.
Until four years ago Harrell did not
wear glasses, and up until that Stime
he was a great hunter. His chief
game was racoons and squirrels and
he was noted as crock shot. Fail
ing eyesight, however, caused Harrell
to give up his favorite pastinne. After
the war Harrell bought small farm
and for years raised tobacco. Harrell
has twenty-three children, sixty grand
children and at least as many great
grandchildren. He said that recently
he tried to count up his grandchildren,
but lost count and had to give 1t up.
His father attained the age Of 125 and
Harrell says that he hopes to at least
reach that mark. He has two sons
living in Iowa. Pink Harre1l lives at
Ogden and James Harrell here. Har-
relps wife died nearly thirty years
ago. r..
