The Marion County Patriot, No. 28
Friday, July 23, 1909
Page One

Johnnie McCarthy, the good-natured, genial, bald-headed Irishman of Schley 
County, was in Buena Vista last Friday and spent a short time in the Patriot 
office.

Mr. McCarthy was born in Ireland more than seventy years ago, near the lakes of 
Killarney, and came to America when he was twenty-eight years of age.

Mr. McCarthy is in good health, yet quite rugged, and while his wife, Mrs. 
Charity McCarthy is eighty-eight years of age, has held the plow handles, Uncle 
Johnnie has hitched himself up and pulled the plow all this season, and tells 
us that he has raised a good crop.

Johnnie and Charity enjoy life, don’t shirk work and live comfortable with 
prospects of many years yet ahead.  The rich Irish blood that courses through 
Uncle Johnnie’s veins is true to the mother country and he delights to talk of 
the Emerald Isle, and longs for the independence of its citizens.

Uncle Johnnie is full of native wit – he loves a good story and has promised us 
a good snake story ere long.
