"The Roanoke Leader" -- Roanoke, Randolph Co., Alabama :
NEWSPAPER Issue of Wednesday, May 6, 1925

AN AGED NEGRO WOMAN IS VISITING ROANOKE

Alex K. Kelley, well known young colored citizen of Roanoke, informed The 
Leader yesterday that his grandmother Margaret Taylor arrived on the noon 
train Monday from her home in Opelika to make him a visit and that she is 
over 105 years of age. He says the record shows that she was born in Talbot 
County, Georgia on October 9, 1819. She lived there until about 36 years ago 
when she moved to Lee County. She has very good eyesight and can get about 
reasonably well. We are informed that she is the mother of 18 children and 
of 152 grandchildren. The number of other descendants is not known. Alex 
says that if anyone wishes to see this remarkable old woman they may do so 
by calling at his home on "Red Line".
