He is hale and hearty, though he has passed through the heats of eighty-one summers. He says that he has never rode a mile on a railroad in his life and he attributes longevity and good health to be in some measure due to that fact. – Columbus Enquirer File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/marion/newspapers/nw1757matthewm.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 1.1 Kb
