1966

WELL-KNOWN MADISON COUNTY MAN HONORED

By Mrs. Alfred Thompson

Mr. Charlie Dean, better known as "Uncle Charlie", observed his 94th
birthday anniversary April 9 and was honored with a birthday dinner 
Sunday April 10th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Manley in the Bond
Community.

Born on April 9, 1872, Mr. Dean is a son of the late Thomas Wesley and
Sara Stovall Dean.  He grew up in Madison County and married the former 
Miss Hattie Booth in 1900. Mrs. Dean passed away in 1943.

Surviving children are Mrs. Lloyd "Carrie" Manley, Danielsville; Mr.
Alton Dean, of Birmingham, Ala.; and Mrs. E. L. "Mazelle" Craven of
Franklin Springs with whom he makes his home.  He has 5 grandchildren
and four great-grandchildren.

The celebration of Mr. Dean's 94th birthday anniversary brought the 
family together with 53 relatives and friends attending, all wishing 
him many more years to come.  He is the oldest member at Jones 
Methodist Church, and oldest citizen of the Bond Community.

A daughter, when asked if she thought good health habits had 
contributed to her Dad's longevity said:  'Dad always ate moderately, 
was thin and never did worry.  I would say, not worrying about things 
helped".

When asked about the "good old days" he has a remarkable memory.  
Vivid are the recollections and traditions of his ancestors.  In our
new world of automobiles, jet planes, nuclear bombs, TV, radio;
electrical living and mechanical farming, we still enjoy hearing 
about the old days.
