Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1913-04-10
Personal NOTES.

Messrs. William Vickers and William
H. Martin, two prosperous Jefferson
county farmers from north of town, hap
pened to meet in the Register office last
Monday, and in friendly banter as to
which was the best man the fact was
brought out that they were almost OF the
same age. Mr.. Martin has recently pass
ed his 82d birthday and Mr.. Vickers will
in few months reach his SD. Both are
in sound health and in full possession OF
their faculties, except that each is little
deaf. They could readily pass for fifteen
or twenty years younger. Both bid fair
to enjoy yet many years Of usefulness,
and we hope that they may reach the
century mark.
